Extract

The International Wheat Council held its 32d session in London from June 27 to June 30, 1961. The Council heard reports on the work of the sixth session of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Group on Grains. An interim report on the operations of participating countries in the crop year for the nine months to the end of April 1961 showed that total commercial purchases by member importing countries from member exporting countries under the terms of the International Wheat Agreement were about the same as during the same period in the previous year. Commercial and special trade of member exporting countries with non-participating countries showed a considerable increase over the same period last year, as did commercial purchases by some exporting countries from other member exporting countries. The Council also heard a report on FAO activities in regard to distributing food surpluses to needy people.
