Noncompetitive imports—coffee,
cocoa, rubber, etc.—have risen in volume,
but because of low world prices, have
declined in value in 1999 (22 percent of
total agricultural imports). Import values
of bulk commodities—feed grains, soybeans,
tobacco, and sugar—are also
smaller due to lower prices, although
imports have remained relatively flat in
volume.
