Block Threatens To Flood World Dairy Market
Agriculture Secretary John R. Block warned in Kansas City that the U.S. could dump up to 3 billion dollars worth of government dairy surpluses on the world market if the European Community does not curb farm export subsidies. He cited upcoming GATT ministerial talks in Geneva and noted the potential impact on prices if surpluses are released. New Zealand fears any U.S. dumping. reports suggest as much as 100,000 metric tons of surplus butter could be sold annually, about 220 million pounds.
