Abstract: Excerpts from the Report: The export market in fiscal year 1963-64 provided an outlet for three-fourths of U.S. wheat production; two-thirds of the rice and nonfat dry milk; half of the dry edible peas; over two-fifths of the tallow, soybeans, and hops; about a third of the cotton, rye, prunes, and dried whole milk; around a fourth of the lard and tobacco; and one-fifth of the raisins, dry edible beans, cottonseed, grain sorghums, and barley. Every important U.S. farming region and State has a significant stake in the export market for agricultural products. This article presents the results of a study which indicates the magnitude and significance of this stake among the regions and States. The study includes an analysis of the national agricultural export situation; a discussion of the institutional and economic background of national, regional, and State foreign trade; a review of the methodology used in deriving the regional and State agricultural export shares; a discussion and listing of the regional and State export shares; and a summary by regions and States of the number of farm workers whose jobs are attributable to agricultural exports.
