1983, 17 percent less than the previous year's value. U.S. agricultural imports in the
first 6 months of fiscal year 1983 rose 5 percent above those of the same period last
year to $8.1 billion, primarily due to increases in coffee, cocoa, meat, fruit, vegetables
and beverages. Concessional agricultural exports under Government~financed programs in
calendar year 1982 fell 9 percent to $1.3 billion, with declines in Public Law 480 Title I
sales and Title II donations.
