Abstract:
Seaborne deliveries of foodstuff to North Vietnam increased sharply in January, apparently reflecting the relatively poor late 1966 domestic rice crop. The first quarter 1967 imports of foodstuff are expected to average about 25,000 tons a month compared to 4,000 to 5,000 tons monthly in the first quarter of 1966, and the first 1967 quarter total will probably exceed the total for all of 1966. Soviet ships made 16 calls in January 1967, a record high. Imports of petroleum, and exports of pig iron, coal and miscellaneous general cargoes also were high in January. Both tankers and dry cargo ships at Haiphong were handled expeditiously.
