The 1937 Agricultural Outlook For California PDF Download

Excerpt from The 1937 Agricultural Outlook for California Substantial improvement in the demand for fruit during the next two or three years seems to be more certain in the domestic market than in foreign markets. However, if the fruit industry of this country main tains high export standards, there Should continue to be a profitable outlet for substantial quantities of our fruit in export markets even with somewhat greater competition expected from increasing production of fruits abroad. The volume of United States exports of fruit declined less during the depression than most any other group of agricultural exports. The move toward stabilization of currencies, which has been coupled with lowering of trade barriers in several countries, and the reduction Of duties and other import restrictions secured under the trade-agree ments program are factors which may, in the long run, be favorable to our fruit exports. The Trade Agreement Act of June 12, 1934, has already resulted in valuable concessions on fruit in each of the fourteen agreements Signed to date. All the countries with whom trade agree ments have been Signed have given concessions on canned fruit and all but one on fresh and dried fruit. For the present season, however, the outlook for exports is not as promising as it was before devaluation of currencies began in September. Moreover, the amount of improvement in our fruit-export business that may occur during the next two or three years as a result of modified trade barriers and readjustment of foreign currencies cannot be forecast with any assurance at the present time.
