Holland to Import Major Grain Volumes From U S
The Holland grain bureau plans to report 1 180 000 tons of maize worth 46 800 000 and 140 000 tons of rye worth 7 600 X% from America this year if Britain allows higher import inflow. Since January no private buying is allowed as government monopoly stands. Wheat and flour imports from the U S are expected to match or exceed last year’s 600 000 tons of wheat and 278 000 tons of flour respectively.
