Administration eyes broad grain talks with 15 nations
The Carter administration weighs launching international trade talks that could yield grain pacts with as many as 15 countries. Moscow's role is pivotal due to its status as the world’s largest wheat producer and the pending five year U S Soviet grain agreement. China talks near completion with a potential annual purchase of 6 to 9 million metric tons through 1983, signaling a major expansion of U S China trade.
