Each contract for soybean meal and oil-cake will be reduced to 40 percent of the unfilled quantity. Licenses for cottonseed and cotton seed will be issued for the full quantity quan-tity cf the unshipped balance of contracts that were in force on June 13, 1973, because supplies are adequate to meet these exports ex-ports and still fill domestic needs. The Department of Agriculture Agricul-ture estimates that this licensing licens-ing system will allow for a 145-million-bushel carry-in of beans this fall, Clegg said, thus protecting pro-tecting livestock producers and consumers from possible shortages of food and feed. "Our first responsibility is to our own citizens even though we want to keep the export markets that we have built up so carefully," Clegg said. A number of related and unpredictable un-predictable events have occurred occurr-ed together around the world, resulting in the current global shortage of protein meal, the ASC Chairman said. These include in-clude harvesting problems in the U. S., crop failures and droughts last year in Russia, India, Australia Aus-tralia and South Africa, failure of the Peruvian fishmeal industry in-dustry the past two seasons, the continuing growth in world de--mand for livestock products, and U. S. dollar devaluations that have made this country's commodities com-modities more attractive to foreign for-eign buyers. During the 12 months ending in September exports of soybeans, soy-beans, cottonseed, and related products will be larger than exports for the corresponding period last year despite the licensing li-censing system that has now replaced re-placed a June 27 embargo, reports re-ports a farm program official. However, these shipments will not be as large as they might otherwise have been, in order to protect feed supplies needed by American livestock producers produc-ers and their consumer-customers. "We simply couldn't meet this years sudden jump in foreign for-eign demand with old-crop soybeans soy-beans and meal," says Howard Clegg, Chairman of the Utah State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. Com-mittee. "Therefore, it became necessary to allocate available suppliees." Clegg quoted U.S. Department of Agriculture authorities who point out that even with the embargo and subsequent export licensing system, this country expects to ship overseas a record 491 million bushels of soybeans this year some 57 million bushels more than the previous record set in 1970. "At the same time, we will now retain sufficient supplies of old-crop beans to meet domestic do-mestic needs, thus providing for our livestock producers and, ultimately, ul-timately, consumers," Clegg said. After considering domestic requirements, re-quirements, the government determined de-termined that approximately 33 million bushels of soybeans and 750,000 short tons of soybean oil-cake and meal are available for export, Cregg explained. This represents 50 percent , of the reported unshipped contracts for cake and meal. Therefore, the federal government govern-ment established an export licensing li-censing system under which the contract for soybean exports will be reduced to 50 percent of the |
