Food policies in developing countries
1983
Extract: Developing nations find national food policies a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for economic development, according to this survey of 21 nations, including case studies of Kenya, Tanzania, and Senegal. Use of such policies does not affect development as much as the extent to which they are used. Increasing farmer welfare and achieving national food self-sufficiency were the two food policy objectives most often claimed by the developing nations. Also claimed were consumer welfare, stable prices, conservation of foreign exchange, and food secutiry. Government budget constraints formed the greatest roadblocks to effective food policy.
