U S Faces Fat Shortage Across Oils For 12 Months
Charles E. Lund of the commerce department told the American Meat Institute that fats and oils will remain scarce for the next year as production falls about 1 billion pounds short of a 10.7 billion pound demand. Butter output is down 35 percent from prewar levels, per capita consumption drops from 18 to 10 pounds, and supplies of paint oils lubricants and laundry soap will be tight due to limited edible fats. Diversion of coconut oil from the Philippines further limits relief.
