The Spanish canning industry besides being fairly similar to the Australian and South 
African industries in size of export pack is also similar to these industries in two other 
respects, First, all are dependent on the export market as an outlet for a high proportion of their 
canned fruit pack and secondly, the United Kingdom is their most important market. 
Australia and South Africa exported about 71 and 73 percent in 1958-59 and 69 and 66 per- 
cent in 1959-60, respectively, of their total canned pack. Using the production estimate of the 
National Syndicate--3,3 million cases--and assuming no beginning or ending stocks, Spain ex- 
ported 85 percent of its total canned deciduous production in 1958-59. On the other hand, the 
United States exported less than 10 percent of its total canned deciduous pack, 
The majority of Spain's canned deciduous exports--by far--is accounted for by ''pulps’'-- 
both apricot and peach, Canned apricot ''pulp'' exports have always been large, averaging about 
1.6 million cases--24-23's equivalent--during the 5-year period, 1953-57. Canned peach ''pulp" 
exports averaged 367,000 cases during this period, while fruits canned in sirup averaged 
266,000 cases, 
The United Kingdom has been one of the largest markets--and the biggest market most 
years--for Spain's canned apricot pulp. During the 5-year period, 1953-57, it took an average of 
533,500 cases. Most of the Western European countries are also large buyers of Spanish apricot 
pulp. During this 5-year period Spain's exports averaged 336,600 cases to Germany, 233,300 to
