Abstract

In the meantime, the UN General Assembly urged all countries to subscribe to the proposed International Undertaking on World Food Security and build up and maintain world food grain reserves to be held nationally and regionally, and located strategically, large enough to cover foreseeable major food production shortfalls. It was proposed that the wheat and rice components of the reserve should be 30 million tons. Pending the establishment of the reserve, developed countries, and developing countries in a position to do so, were urged to earmark stocks and/or funds to be placed at the disposal of WFP as an International Emergency Food Reserve (IEFR) to strengthen its capacity to deal with food crisis situations in developing countries. The aim was a target of not less than 500,000 tons, plus small quantities of other appropriate foodstuffs (UN, 1976).
