Description

Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture<br/><br/>Food-consuming habits differ between the two countries. Inhabitants of the United States use relatively more of the protective foods and more of the highly refined foods. Further, though each country exports some food products, Colom bia exports a greater proportion of its output than does the United States. A Colombian census in 1939 enumerated farms, of which or 21 percent, produced coffee? Only 8 or 10 per cent of this crop was consumed within the country. Both the total number of farms and the number producing coffee have increased since 1989, but the proportion is probably about the same. In addi tion, just-before the war, exports of bananas were valued at about one-tenth as much as coffee ship ments, though they provided less than one-tenth as much employment. Producers for export, how ever, especially the coffee growers, raise most of their own food. Therefore, not all their labor can be charged against the export trade.
