Crop reductions outweighed livestock gains, with the sharpest drops occurring in export commodities—specifically grains, tobacco, and coffee—while basic food output remained relatively steady. The most heavily impacted countries in Latin America were Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica. Despite the lower yields, regional economic growth continued to improve, and agricultural trade remained robust—reaching an estimated $12.5 billion in exports and $6.5 billion in imports in 1964—supported by large accumulated stocks from the previous year's record harvest and favorable market prices.04aAgricultural CommoditiesxStatistics04aAgricultural Economic & TradexPeriodicals04aWestern Hemisphere AgriculturexEconomic aspects  2ddccBK  00102ddc40708REFaBIDSLDCbBIDSLDCcGENd2026-08-09h1965o630.973 US-2p017600r2026-08-09tC-01w2026-08-09yBKzavailable
