Ontario exports about 80 percent of the entire white bean crop and last year 38 percent of that market was for the U.K. Broadwell continued, "The UK now has contracts with the United States and their high interest and in- flation rates has forced them to go more to buying hand to mouth". More than half the export beans this year are going to communist countries with 36 percent to Bulgaria and 26 percent to Cuba. On these exports Board chairman Gordon Hill said, "Bulgaria and Yugoslavia are traditional growers and distributors of white beans to Iron Curtain countries. Their production has dropped, so they are buying from other producing countries and bartering them off for other goods." Last year Bulgaria bought 31 percent of • the Ontario export beans, but, this year's purchase by Cuba is the first by that country. Another export sale, although smaller than -some of the others is interesting. Ontario white beans are going to Iraq. Broadwell said that country has tripled its order since indicating in- terest for the first time last summer. Broadwell commented, "They are now up to eight percent and they may buy even more as the war with Iran continues. So far 755,172 hun- dredweight bags of beans of a total crop estimated at 1.5 million bags has been sold.
