Excerpt from The Beef Cattle Industries of Central America and Panama The central American countries and Panama have enjoyed a rapid rate of economic growth during the past 10 years. Although in percentage terms industry has probably shown the greater increase, most of the growth in gross national product has been derived from expanded production of agricultural commodities. Nonetheless, the economies of these countries still suffer from the weakness of over dependence on one or two export products. They are particularly vulnerable when one considers that in almost every instance their leading dollar exchange earners (coffee and cotton in Guatemala and Nicaragua, coffee and bananas in Costa Rica and Honduras, and bananas in Panama) are products subject to surplus accumulation and severe price fluctuations in world markets. Aware of their vulnerable position, the governments and private sectors of these countries, assisted by technical missions from international organizations and the us. Agency for International Development (aid), among others, have for the past several years sought to bolster their economies by encouraging increased self-sufficiency in food production and the development of new export lines to provide the foreign exchange necessary to pay for essential imports. Much of their attention has been centered on the livestock industry, which has played a traditional, though relatively minor, role in Central America and Panama since the colonial period. The objective of this report is to examine the factors associated with the rising trend in beef produc tion in recent years and assess future prospects. Hopefully, answers or reasoned judgments can be made in response to some of the perplexing questions concerning the beef cattle industry in Central America and Panama. Has the gain in productivity in the industry been as rapid as the expansion in slaughter operations; or, has the increase in numbers of cattle slaughterings been achieved partly in response to the construction of excess slaughter capacity at the expense of future production? What has been-the effect of the campaign to expand beef exports on the availability of supplies for the domestic market? What are the prospects for production, domestic consumption, and exports over the next 7 years? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Retail Meat Prices in Perspective The beef cattle industry is at a critical point in the current cattle inventory cycle. Producers sustained heavy financial losses during most of the last 4 years as their costs held at relatively high levels while cattle prices were low. These losses, combined with droughts in many areas of the United States, caused a large reduction of the cattle herd. That reduction provided consumers with record large beef supplies at relatively low prices. The total cattle inventory was reduced from 132 million head in 1975 to million on January 1, 1978. A further reduction is expected this year. Initially, a herd sell-off increases beef supplies; sustained, it lowers the calf crop and resulting beef supplies. Beef production is now declining and beef prices are rising. This is putting producers back into a favorable financial situation.
