520			_aThe 1965 Western Hemisphere Agricultural Situation Summary reports a significant decline in overall agricultural output across Canada, the United States, and Latin America for 1964/65, driven primarily by severe weather conditions such as drought, floods, and frost. 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.
