Abstract
The position of the USSR in the world grain economy has been quite unique during the last decade. On the one hand, Soviet purchases of foreign grain accounted for a very important share of world grain imports and reflected a significant dependence of the USSR on foreign grain supplies. On the other hand, the Soviet Union has been one of the major grain producers and has remained a significant grain exporter. Table 10.1 provides some indication as to the relative importance of the USSR in the world grain market and in grain production.
