Countertrade/Food Aid: Support and Enhancement of Structural Adjustment

Abstract

Although food aid has been advocated for countries undertaking structural adjustment policies, political support for increased aid expenditures is lacking. Countertrade is proposed herein as a method for expanding food aid without increasing expenditures. Countertrade allows developing countries to accelerate growth in their export sectors while "financing" increased food assistance.
