Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the recent rise in fruit and vegetable imports and its effect on American farmers and food manufacturers. GAO found that: (1) the U.S. agricultural trade balance has declined each year for the past 5 years, with a rise in agricultural imports contributing to this decline; (2) fruits and vegetables comprised almost a quarter of competitive imports in 1986, with almost a quarter of these coming from Mexico and 16 percent from Europe; (3) fruit imports quadrupled from 1975 through 1986; (4) vegetable imports almost tripled from 1975 through 1986; and (5) a steady rise in U.S. foreign capital investments in the food industry accompanied the rising trend of agricultural imports. GAO also found that the total U.S. agricultural trade balance with: (1) Mexico declined from a positive $1.4 billion in 1980 to a negative $944 million in 1986; (2) Canada declined from a positive $839 million in 1981 to a negative $463 million in 1986; (3) South American countries remained negative from 1980 through 1986; (4) Europe declined steadily from 1981 to 1985; (5) Oceania remained at a fairly consistent negative level from 1980 through 1986; (6) Asia remained positive from 1980 through 1986, although trending downward; and (7) Africa remained relatively stable from 1980 through 1986.

This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans' well-being than any other human activity. The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality, and the federal budget. From the earliest developments of agriculture, a major goal has been to attain sufficient foods that provide the energy and the nutrients needed for a healthy, active life. Over time, food production, processing, marketing, and consumption have evolved and become highly complex. The challenges of improving the food system in the 21st century will require systemic approaches that take full account of social, economic, ecological, and evolutionary factors. Policy or business interventions involving a segment of the food system often have consequences beyond the original issue the intervention was meant to address. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System develops an analytical framework for assessing effects associated with the ways in which food is grown, processed, distributed, marketed, retailed, and consumed in the United States. The framework will allow users to recognize effects across the full food system, consider all domains and dimensions of effects, account for systems dynamics and complexities, and choose appropriate methods for analysis. This report provides example applications of the framework based on complex questions that are currently under debate: consumption of a healthy and safe diet, food security, animal welfare, and preserving the environment and its resources. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System describes the U.S. food system and provides a brief history of its evolution into the current system. This report identifies some of the real and potential implications of the current system in terms of its health, environmental, and socioeconomic effects along with a sense for the complexities of the system, potential metrics, and some of the data needs that are required to assess the effects. The overview of the food system and the framework described in this report will be an essential resource for decision makers, researchers, and others to examine the possible impacts of alternative policies or agricultural or food processing practices.

Book excerpt: Fruit and Vegetable Products Updated October 15, 2008 Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy Resources, Science, and Industries Division The U. S. Trade Situation for Fruit and Vegetable Products Summary Over the last decade, there has been a growing U. S. trade deficit in fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. [...] Fruit and Vegetable Trade Situation Summary The U. S. trade deficit in fresh and processed fruits and vegetables reached $7.4 billion in 2007, following a decade of steady gains in both exports and imports (Table 1, Figure 1). [...] Since the mid-1990s, the value of U. S. fruit and vegetable exports has nearly doubled, with the largest gains in exports of fresh fruits and processed products. [...] Imports of preserved mushrooms and processed tomatoes declined over the period.2 Together, roughly one-half of the 2007 U. S. trade deficit for fruits and vegetables was composed of bananas and fresh tomatoes and other vegetables, including bell peppers. [...] CRS-5 Competitive Market Situation A number of factors are shaping current competitive market and trade conditions worldwide, and may be contributing to trends in U. S. fruit and vegetable trade: ! a relatively open U. S. import regime and lower average import tariffs in the United States, with products from most leading suppliers entering the U. S. duty-free.
