Abstract: Under President Salvador Allende, Chile's land reform efforts are being based on formation of large farm cooperatives rather than the small owner-operated farms emphasized by the previous administration. Expropriation of all large privately owned farms is due to be completed in 1972. Crop productivity may be down sharply in 1972 but the causes cannot be clearly identified with changes introduced by the current government. Cattle stock numbers have decreased precipitously since late 1970. The U.S. share of the growing Chilean market for foreign agricultural commodities has decreased, as has the value of U.S. agricultural exports to Chile.
