Abstract: The 22 percent rise in U.S. agricultural exports to $4,824 million in calendar year 1960 extended to all major world areas except Latin America. Exports to Asia rose most, both in dollars and percentage, expanding 50 percent to $1,461 million. Shipments to Europe expanded 17 percent to $2,213 million. Exports to Canada advanced 12 percent to $432 million. While the dollar increases for Africa and Oceania were small, the percentage gains were sizable: 21 and 20 percent respectively. Exports to Latin America declined 4 percent to $482 million.
