Austrian Grain Diversion Tied to $30 Million U.S. Feed Exports
Congressional investigators link Austrian grain imports to a $30 million diversion scheme with 10 countries receiving 500 metric tons of diverted feed grains. Whitten report notes potential knowledge by some U.S. and Austrian officials and West German importers seeking lower barter prices. The probe, ongoing for months, has not identified American brokers, but strong suspicions point to a conspiracy involving Austrian grain exporters and importers. Meanwhile Texas vegetable production fell below 1962 and 1957-62 averages, with $71 million value in 1963 from 302,750 acres of vegetables, melons, and potatoes. Led by onions cantaloupes watermelons carrots, cabbage, lettuce, and onions, fresh vegetables accounted for 31 percent of acreage and 4 percent of value. Argentina sees 5,503 bankruptcy cases in 1983, up from 4,642, according to Veritas.
