520			_aWorld grain consumption by livestock is expected to reach 515 million tons in 1980, up 62 percent from 317 million tons in 1965, and compared with a 1,330 million-ton total projected for grain consumption. Western Europe and Japan are likely to remain the leading coarse grain importers. The EEC is expected to continue importing at least 13 million tons of coarse grain while Japan may double its imports to over 10 million tons. From net exporters of 5 million tons in 1965, the less developed countries as a group appear destined to become net importers of at least this amount, if prevalent production policies continue. The United States is likely to continue to lead the world in net exports of coarse grain. Food is expected to account for 590 million tons and other uses, 225 million tons of grain in 1980. This projection is based on a cross-sectional,)analysis of the world grain and meat economy involving the following principal relationships: meat consumption, human grain consumption, and income per capita, grain-meat ratio, and proportion of grain fed to live­stock. The projection employs explicit assumptions on demand and production for 23 regions of the world and analyzes trends for these regions.
