USSR likely to import large grain quantities next years
The USDA said the Soviet Union will probably need sizable grain imports beyond 1973 74 to meet dietary goals by 1975 and may remain a net grain importer for the next three to five years. By Sept 1 it had bought 950 million to 1 billion bushels, including 650 million from the United States. The U S grain sales, totaling about 600 million bushels, spurred criticism and raised U S prices, with wheat at about 1.73 a bushel in September, up 22 cents from the prior month.
