British plan to extend agreements to staples other than wheat
Guelph Ontario May 31. A British proposal to extend international agreements to staples beyond wheat will be discussed at the world farmers conference opening today. The plan aims to stabilize prices and production over a set period, mirroring the wheat agreement from Washington earlier this year. More than 100 delegates from 23 major producing nations attend, with many from Europe, China, Japan, and India noted for interest in cooperative wheat pools. The Canadian-India delegation seeks to learn how such pools could profit India, as India aims for self sufficiency in agriculture by 1851.
