The 1956 calendar year is poised to set a new farm export record surpassing $4 billion, up about 30 percent from 1955. Exports should match or exceed the 1919 peak in value while volume rises, with grains, oils, fruits and vegetables hitting new highs. The gain reflects stronger overseas demand and government export programs easing pricing barriers.
U S general imports reached a record high of 1 120 000 000 in October about 2 percent higher than the previous peak of 1 100 000 000 set in March 1951 and March 1956. Total imports for the first ten months of 1956 were valued at 10 556 900 000 or 13 percent above the 9 310 500 000 for the similar period last year.
Shortages help spur U S agriculture to widen exports as foreign buyers gain purchasing power. From January to October 1956 total exports rose 20 percent versus 1955 with farm goods up 26 percent. Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, Western Germany and the Netherlands top destinations. About two fifths of exports moved under U S government programs, with dollars, barter and donations. Competitive pricing for wheat and cotton and Export-Import Bank loans aided trade.
