Trade statistics for both 1963 and 1964, however, show nearly a balance between imports and exports. The 1964 figures were given as 6,913,000,000 rubles ($7,681,000,000) in exports and 6,963,000,000 rubles ‘$7;738,000,- 000) in imports. Much of the exports were to {Communist-bloc countries that paid in soft currencies unac- ceptable to Western wheat pro- ducers. This forced the gold sales. The largest element of Sovict exports was ores, metals and cables. They made up 21.3 per cent by value in 1964. Machin- ery and equipment was 21 per cent and fuel and electric en- ergy 18 per cent. Machinery and equiptment took up 34.4 per cent of imports and manufactured goods 15.4 per cent. Food imports rose sharply to the 20-1 per cent in 1964 from 12.8 per cent of the 1963 total. because of the wheat failure.
