983 PATS8 AND OILS SITT.TATIONl


-r Summary

Productionh of fats and oile from donestic materials in the 1942 crop year

'es estimated at 11.7 billion pounds compared with 9.6 billion pounds a year

earlier. Goale for 1943 call for increased acr~eages of flaxseed and peanuts,

and a soybean acreage only slightly less than the record acreagee in 1942. The

Dj~i~ ton goal' has been reduced, however, to permit greater utilization of

:4 ho~Pur~ces for more essential crops such as peanuts and feed grains. Wlith

normal yields, production of vegetable oils from domestic materials may total

4.3 billion pounds in the 1943 crop year compared with 4.2 billion pounds in

the current yesr. Weoathzr was unusually favorable in 1942. The upward trend

in lard, tallow, and grease production is expected to continue in 194j, but

this may be partly offset by reduced butter production.

Supplies of fats and oils for 1943, including production, imports, and

stocks on hand Janluery 1, probably will total about 14.5 billion pounds.

Military and export requirements for 1943 are estimated at 2.6 billion pounds,

and civilian use under the manufacturers' limitation order is estimated at

9.2 billion pounds. This will leave only- 2.7 billion pounds for stocks at the

close of 1943 compared with a goal established by the Foods Requirements

Committee totaling 3*.5 billion pounds, including contingency reserves. To

meet this objective, direct consumer rationing of food fats and oils probably

would be necessary, for without such action further reductions in allocations

of food fatal to manufacturers are not considered feasible. The quantity of

fa~te that consumers wPould take p.t ceiling pri-ces is estimated to be

. tea@$2eabl retr thn the quantity avatial under the pre~set limitation _

MA;34er, with due consideration to the supply of butter and lard available for

enivilian nreeb The manufacture of butter and lard is not restricted.






DECEMBER 1942

Prices of nebst food rnd sorp fats and oils wefe at ceiling levels in

November and esrly December. Flaxseed and linseed oil prices declined in

November, reflecting some slackening in demand for paint oils xnd the

existence of large supplies of flaxseed. The an:nouncenent on Novrember 30 of an

increase in the support price for flax~seed of the 1943 crop brought a sharp

recovery in flasseed prices, however. Prices of oilceals rose materially in

the first half of Novem~ber. The advance in cottonseed, pe.=nut, and soybean

-;eal prices was halted as a result of price orders issued by Commodity Credit

Corporation end the Office of Price Adiniristration. Linseed neal :prices, not

covered by ceilings, have continued to advance.

Agriculture. The WJir Production Boa~rd in September issued
a general order Uiniting man~ufacturers' use of fats iand oils
to co~nserve supplies and build up ,7 reserve for future
contingencies. Price control over fats and oils 7AS
ir.;tituted in December 1911i. Ceiling prices were revised upward
on sever3l occasions during 1942. Prices of practically all
fets and oils, xcep~-t linseed oil, pro now covered by

Other Recent Price Orlers

Under Anend:~.lents 17 andl 18 to the fats and oils price schedule,
effective No~ve:.2ber 19, sales of refined soybean, peanut, or cottonseed oil for
nrned.ible uses may be made at a level 1/2 cent per pound. Pbove the maximum
prices set forth- in Anonds~ti.ents 7 and 8. Unlike sillors of those oils for
edible use, selleTS f0T nOnf~ood urposes eare not entitl00 to buy the crude
oils fr~o Commolrdityr Credit "Jorpor3.tion nt 1/2 cent per pound under ceiling
prices for cruio. Hence th~e ner action by the Off ice of price A;1rlinistration
equalizes refinin,- nsE~cine as between oil goinZ into food uses and that going
intoi nonfood uses. Ind~ustried uses nermally account for a smell pa~rt of the
Ototal disaPPearJnCe of these oils. In 1961 only 22 percent of the soybean oil,
7 percent of the poenut oil, an~d 5 percent of t'r.e cottonseed oil reps used for
purposes other then food~.

Amendment 62 to SuppFlemen~tary Reg-ulation 14 of the-G~eneral M~aximun price
Rog~ul-~tion,, offectiv-e Bovem~ber 23, prov-ides a 2-czrnt per pound margin for

localitirs, renderers do not collect directly from butchers, but rely on
irndepenhan~t collectors. Maximum prices for houshol-cld-salvaged grease are as
follows: Housewi~fe to butcher, 4 cents per pounld; butchzer to renderer or
independent collector, 5 cents per pound; collector to renderer, 7 cents per
pound.e

Effective Date of Limitation ordrer
Advanced to Cat.:'- r 1

The general limitation order for fats and oils, General preference
Order M-71, was rcissurd in amended form on Novrrmber 24. The order now
specifies the last CquaIrter of 1982 a~s the~ first; Tjriod for which quotas must
be observed, instead of the; last 4 months of 19-E specified in thy original
order. Thlis modification is IEaigned to give relief to manufacturers who had
made large sales in Sep~tber jorfcore th~e q~uotas were announced and who conse-
quently were unable to do their p~roprtortoats ha~re of business in the remain-
ing 3 months of the original q~uota period.

The limitation on th~e manufacture of otherr edible finished products"
,1Ka officially interpre~ted on No~vem'ter 18 as not applyiing to products in which.
fats and oils are nrot the~ largest single ingredients by weight. Shortening,
mayonnaise, and salad dressing, however, are subject to the order, regardless
of their composition.

Butter Stocks Frozen

Conservation Order %--267, issued November 20, required about half of
theF bu~ttcr in cold-storage warehousess in 35 cities, or roughly 40 percent
of total ccld-sto~rage stocks, to be set aside for the requirements of
Go~vFrnmEnt; agencies. Until Mlarch 6, butter set aside in accordance with this
order may' not be dclivpred without specific p~ermissiorn of the Director-
Gerr.ral for Industry Operations, except for military or la~nd-lcase purpofises
or to a Go-vernment agency. The border was acc~ignrd to create a readily
available supply to meet reqp~iroments for such purposes in the immediate
future.

Producers of cream were prohibited by Conservation Order M ~259,effective
November 25, from delivering cream containing more than 19 percent butterfat
except to other producers. Exceptions were made for small-volume deliveries
by farmers and for deliveries in States having high minimum standards for
cream, Although this order will result chiefly in increasing supplies of
milk for fluid consumption, it will tend tr encourage butter production, More
direct aid to butter ;production may result from Conservation Order M-2711,
,restricting commercial production of ice cream in December and January to
60 percent of October output, Since ice cream production declines seasonally
from Datober to December, the restriction is actually in the neighborhood of
20 percent. It is estimated that the butterfat saved in December by the order
will be eq~uivalent to about 70 million pounds of milk or ).j million pounds of
butter.

General Import~s Orde~r Amended

General Imports Order M-6) was reissued in emended form on November 20.
As before, commodities named in the order may not be imported into the Ulnited
States without written authorization from the War Production Board, except by
aulthorised agencies of the Federal Government. The commodities are grouped
into three lists. List III includes commodities that are not needed so
urgently in the war effort as those on the other two lists. Items on list I
are distinguished from those on list II by stricter control over their
movement and utilization after importation. The revised listing of fats and
oils is as follows:

Lists II and III Castor beans; cod oil; cottonseed oil; flaxseed; linseed
oil: murumuru oil; neatsfoot oil and stock; oleo oil; peanut oil; rubber seed
and oil; sunflower oil; edible and inedible tallow, including oleo stock; b~ucua
oil; wool grease; babassu nuts, kernels, and oil; cashew nut shell oil; castor
oil; coconut oil; cohune nuts, kernels and oil; copra; edible corn oil;
oiticica oil; ouricury nuts, kernels and oil; palm kernels and palm-kernel oil;
palm oil; rapeseed oil; sperm oil; and tung oil. List III: Butter; hempseed
and oil; hydrogenated or hardened fpts and oils; Enurumuru nuts and kernels;
oleostearine; rapeseed; sesame seed and oil; sunflower seed; tucum nuts and
kernels; and vegetable oil soapstock and other foots. List III also includes
fatty acids, and oilmeal except from coconuts or copra, soybeans, or flaxseed.

Glyearin Recovery Order Issued

Domestic production of glycerin may be increased 6 million to 7 million
pounds per year under Conservation Order Md-19), effective December 1, which
sets up certain standards of production efficiency in glycerin recovery for
the soap, fats splitting, and glycerin refining industries. The new standards
are more severe than those in effect on coconut oil and palm oil under Generail
Preference Orders M~-59 and MI-60.

Production o~f Fats and Oils Seasonally T-igher_ in
October; October 31 S~tocys_ Slightl~y_ Higher

Factory production of fats and oils totaled 81i8 million pounds in
October, an increase of 87 million pounds over September. Reflecting seasonally
heavier marketing of cottonseed, the opening of the new zrep year for soybeanes







DEC3EMBER 1942 8- '.

and increased crushings of flarxseed, total production of vegetable oils was
100 million pounds larger than a month earlier. Production of animal fats
and oils declined about 14 million pounds, largely because of a decline in
creamery butter output.

Factory and warehouse stoc:s of fats and oils increased about 14 million
pounds during October to 1,836 million pounds (crude basis) at the end of the
month. The largest increases wer-e )12 million pounds in cottonseed oil and
30 million pounds in linseod oil, while decreases of 37 million pounds and 25
million pounds occurred in stocksa of butter and inedible tallow, respectively.
StocL-s n,-rmlly would have increased more than they did during October as a
result of thle seasonal increase in production. Consumption of fats and oils
was uniusually lar-ge in october this ;year, however.

.1/ Alcreage gobal multiplied by assumed Normal"al yields of 442 pounds of copud cttonr-
seed and 7.25 bushels of flax~seed per F1lated acre; 675 pounds of peanuts and
18 bushels of soybeans per harvested acre.
2/ Oil equivalent of seed available for crushing after deducting other uses.

With nnormaln yields per acre, the output of oil from the 1943 projected
acreage for the four principal oil crops would total about 4 billion pounds,
only slightly more than the estimated output for 1942-43. Growing conditions
were unusually favorable in 1942, and yields generally were about average.
This situation may be repeated in 1943, but the chance is equally great that
growing conditions will be below average next year.

To implement the 1943 production program, support prices were announced
for flaxcseed, soybeans, and peanuts for oil, as well as for hogs and certain
other farm products. Prices for the 1943 crop of flaxesed will be supported
at not less than $2.70 per bushel, basis No. 1 flaxseed at Minneapolis. This
is equivalent to a United StPates average farm price of about $2.55 per bushel,
compared with an estimated average farm price for the current season of about
$2.25*

Parm prices for 1943 crop soybeans will be supported at $1.60 to $1*75
per bushel, depending on oil content, for yellow or green beans of high oil-
yielding varieties. If the quality of soybeans produced is equal to that in
1942, the average farm price for all soybeans in 1943-44 should be slightly
higher than the estimated price of $1*58 per bushel for 1942-crop beans.

A single price program has been recommended by the Department of
Agriculture for all peanuts, whether for edible use or for oil. This program
would assure growers an average return of 80 to 85 percent of the parity_price.







DECENDER 1942


- 10) -


On the basis of the November parity price of $148.80 per ton, this would mean
an average price of about $125.00 per ton in the old producing areas in the
East and a comparable price in other areas. Such a program would require new
legislation. If a single price program or its equivalent is not possible,
price-sup ocrt programs for peanuts for nuts and peanuts for oil, similar to the
programs nowr in effect, will be continued in 1943. Prices of peanuts for oil
in 1942-4j are being supported at ran avera60 level of $30.003 per ton, while
prices of peanuts for nuts are supported at an avor~age level of about $131.00
per ton.

Outpylt of Fetrs in Celendr Year 196J to

Increased output .7f lord, tallow, greases, and pe-nut oil in the
calender yearT 1916), compared with the crop year 19421-4), probably will be aboul
offset by reducticns in output of butter, COtton980d 011, nd& linseed Bil,
assuming that 1943 production goals are reached anid that weather is about
normal next ycar. Total productions from domestic materials for the calendar
;;ear therefore may be tentiative~ly placed at 11.7 billion pounds, the same as
for the crop y:ear. This would compa-re with a production of about 10.1 billion
pounds for tae calendar yecar 1342.

Hog and cattle slaughter is expected to be considerably larger in 1943
than in 191:2. hence the upward trend in production of lard, tallow, and
greases is likely to continue. Lard production may total 3 billion.pounds in
194), comared wrs.:ith about 2.9 billion pounds in the 1942- ) marketing year
(Octoaber- Ep~tember). Lard production would be greater if the cut-out in
packring plants were increased. The yield of lard rer hog in recent months has
run under that of a Zye-r earlier, despite an increase in the avreragle liv~e
weight of hogs slaugh~tere-. Ine lower yield per hog is largely a result of thr
relationshipe existing between prices of lard and pork cuts and of the short-
age of meas~. Much of the excess fat now sold on meats is wasted.

Butter production may be reduced in 1943, unless consumption of fluid
milk and cream can~ be held to 1982 levels. The total of milkr produced in
1943 will be short of requirementst eve~n if the 122-billion pound milk produe-
tion goal is reached. Eement restrictions on whipping cream and ice cream
will tdae care of only about one-fourth of the milk shortage.

Requiremnents for Fats Olutrun Supp'slie-s

Despite the remarkable increase in production of fats and o-ils already
achieved, requlireiments in. the folrthcoming year are likelyr to exceed supplies.
This is due onl-y in part to the loss of imports from the ~Fr Easf, Of more
importance is the growing volume of lend-lease exports, the large military
requ~irements, and a amounting civilian demand as a result of rising income
and increased hours of labor.

The ;upply of fats a~nd oils for 1943 is tentatively estimated as
follows: Production from domestic saterials, 11.7 billion pounds; impIorts,
including oil in seed, 0.8 billion pounds; factory and warehouse stocks,
January 1, 2 billion pounds; total, 14.5 billion pounds. Probable disposition
is about as follows: Military use, lend-lease exports, commercial exports,






EL s-f

and shipments to United. States territories, 2.6 billion pounds; civilian
nonfood use under general limitation order, 3.2 billion pounds; civilian food
use under general limitation order, together with available butter and lard,
6 billion pounds; factory working stocks, and of year, 2 billion pounds;
Go~0verlnment contingency reserve, end of year, 0.7 billion pounds; total, 14*5
billion pounds. In addition, 18 to 20 million bushels of soybeans in excess
of crushing needs, equivalent to 150 to 200 zillion pounds of oil, may be held
.as a reserve for foreign or domestic contingency needs.

Actually, requirements for fats will be greater than use in 1943, arimr
ticularly the requirements for civilians and for the Governm~ent contingency
reserve. The objective for this reserve was originally placed by the Foods
-Requirements Copmittee at 1.~5 billion pounds to be accumulated by Decenter j1,
1943. To achieve this goal it probably would be necessary to institute direct
-consumer rationing of food fats and oils at a level below that considered
feasible under the present manufacturers' limitation order.

For food fats and oils, the situation with regard to available supplies
under existing orders and probable demand at ceiling prices is indicated in
table 3. Without direct consumer ratLioning there would be about 48 pounds of
food fats and oils per capital availstle for civilian consumption in 1943,
including indirect consumrption of fats in such manufactured products as bread,
cake, confectionery, salad dressings, canned soups, etc. Consumption averaged
49 pounds per capital in t~he period. 1935-39 and 51 pounds per capital in 19)80-42.
Hence consumption in 1943 would not be greatly below th~e average for recent
years. However, it is estimated on the basis of past "alatinships between
consumption, price, industrial wrorke~rs' income, and prices of computing
products, that consumers would take about 57 pounds Te: capita in 1943 at
present ceiling prices if such1 a cruantity were avcilable. This estimate, of
course, is.subject to a considerable degree of error, since it; was necessary
in making it to extrapolate beyond the range of previous consumption and
income data.

FENCE WEST AND NORTHI A~IRIG AS A SOURGCE
OF FATS AND OILS

Pre-war trade statistics for Fresnch West Africa rand French North
africa indicate that these two regions, considcord together, have a net export
capacity of roughly half a billion pounsdc, of fats, oils, and oil-bcaring
materials in terms 7f oil. ota eC.~xports rof these itemaJ averagd 690 million
p:unds, annually In 1934-38. wl..:le total imports avcrafged 155 million pounds,
leaving a net export balance cf about 535 million pounds. Yeast Africa had a
net export balance ef about 565 million pounds, but North Africa, with its
sizable urban population, had a not import balance of about j0 million pounds.

French Yejt *ifTrica, is a leading source of the peanut entering inter-
national tradea, steading secC-:d only to India. Together with reslativ ~ly small
but increasingr quantities of peanut oil, peanuts accounted f;F 70 percent
of Wes~t Africa's total exports of fatal, oils, and c.ilyee~d.s in 1934-38.
Substantial quantities of palm kerre:."c palm oil, and shea kern:els and shea
butter were also exported, aad -ona".le- qantities of cjpra, cottonseed,
castor ~beans, and sesame seed. (5.:o table 4.)

OliVE Oil 15 the only fat or oil exported in large quantities from
French Norta Africa. Some flaxaced is exported, especially from French
Morocco, and there nree also small exports of carutor berms, cottonseed,
mustard seed, and apricot seed, as we~ll as of certain fahc -ils and animal
fats. PEanut oil is by far the largest item among the improrted fats and
oils, but sub;stan~tial quantities of soybean cil, butter, anrd linseed "oil
were also imported in 104'-38. (See table 5.)

Total consumption nf fats and eils in French iicrth africa appears to
have been well over 200 million pounds in 19!4-38, with net imports furnish-
ing about 30 million pounds of this total. 170 accurate estimate of consump
tion can be mande, however, a; production figurres are l:-c:-ingP for many items.

The net. trade position of French West Africa anda North Africa in 1934-3
doeE no~t necessarily indicate the cituation as it exists todr-y. Changrzes in
foreign trade relations resulting from the war may havt; caused production
to declir. !:ver the long run, h;-wover, the figures given; in this report
sh.7uld pl.\vide a fairly reliable guide to the status of Vest Africa and
North Africa with respect tor. fat.e andr oils sup~pl~ies.
