S. agriculture, with revised import-export projections for Israel. The Falk Institute for Economic Research in Israel prepared Long-Term Projections of Supply and Demand for Agricultural Products in Israel--General View and Summary, by Yair Mundlak. For the most part, the 224-page study was completed by 1961, but for technical reasons was not published by The Hebrew University Faculty of Agriculture, Jerusalem, until 1964. This research study was prepared under contract for the Economic Research Service and the Foreign Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.}, abstract = {Excerpts from the report Summary: Increases in future U.S. agricultural exports to Israel seem probable for such commodities as wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, and tobacco. U.S. exports of dairy products, beef, cotton, and rice may decrease, because of Israeli agreements with the European Economic Community, its increasing trade with the developing countries of Asia and Africa and changing policies of its Government. Israel is buying more and more of its U.S. agricultural imports with dollars, instead of paying with counterpart funds. Increased dollar purchases are expected for U.S. grain, soybeans, cotton, rice, tobacco, and meat. The major findings of the Falk report (cited in the preface) are summarized in this report, with implications of the projections on U.S. agricultural exports to Israel. Revised import projections, based on more recent information than was available to the author of the Falk report, are included. In the Falk report, specific import projections are made for eight commodities: Wheat; feed grains; dairy products; oilseeds; cotton; tobacco; meat, other than poultry; and rice. }, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/319885}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.319885}, }
