Agricultural Trade: Issues Affecting

U.S. Agricultural Policy

Agricultural trade is one of the few bright
spots in U S trade, providing a positive ba
ance of payments of over $14 billion in 1978
However, while our exports provide billions
of dollars to the U S economy they also ma
help subsidize the agricultural system of some
developed countries and may actually hinder
agricultural development in some developing
nations Food imports may threaten the
viability of certain types of U S farmers while
contributing to income inequities in the
exporting country This staff study uses U S
agricultural trade with Mexico as an example
of how some of these issues are manifested
