Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 25: June 1961
Another factor in greek-american relations which is often overlooked is that we are a major market for Greek tobacco and dried figs. Americans of Greek descent also buy olive oil and table olives from their ancestral home and send millions of dollars every year to their relatives in Greece. All these and many Other activities create a close bond between Greeks and Americans and help the economy of Greece.
But in the final analysis, it is to the Greek farmers and their families that the larger share of the credit belongs for the progress which has been and is being made. They make excellent use of the resources at their command and have shown great talent for adapt ing ideas from abroad to conditions peculiar to their own country.
Author Bell, second from right, sees the sun-curing that helps make Greece's flavorful tobacco its largest export.
