Abstract

Report Introduction: Agricultural commodity assistance, primarily under Public Law 480, has been an important form of assistance to the developing countries for a number of years. The United States is the principal supplier of food aid, but other donor nations are giving increasing attention to the food problems of less-developed countries and to means of helping them to meet their food needs and develop their agriculture. The 16 donor countries of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) gave major consideration to this issue at the Fifth Annual Meeting, in July 1966, to evaluate the effectiveness of donor aid programs. This article reviews recent trends in P.L. 480 assistance in relation to other types of agricultural and economic assistance from bilateral and multilateral sources. It also relates the magnitude of economic assistance programs of donor countries to their national incomes and appraises trends in the foreign economic assistance programs of the United States and other donor countries.
