Drought to have little effect on food prices
U S Agriculture Secretary John Block told the Seventh World Congress on Agricultural Credit that the summer drought will raise food prices about 1.5 percent above drought-free levels. He noted the payment-in-kind program cushioned the impact, preserving grain prices and reducing future farm program costs. Block projected next year’s farm program outlays to fall to about 6.3 billion dollars. He also reaffirmed U S participation in world trade despite the Korean airliner incident and cited the international agricultural credit confederation based in Zurich.
