Extract

Title I and Title II of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as ammended (P.L. 480) authorize both concessional sales and donations of agricultural goods to less developed countries. The goals of the P.L. 480 programs, as stated in the Act, are “to expand international trade; to develop and expand export markets for United States agricultural commodities; to use the abundant agricultural productivity of the United States to combat hunger and malnutrition and to encourage economic development in the developing countries, with particular emphasis on assistance to those countries that are determined to improve their own agricultural production; and to promote in other ways the foreign policy of the United States” (Agricultural Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as ammended, p. 1).
