An overview article points out that, if scarce resources (such as land and labor) are shifted from export crop production to domestic crop production in order to address nutritional needs in low-income exporting countries, a worsening rather than improved nutritional situation could occur. A detailed discussion of the nutritional effects of export cropping and goverment policies that would improve (or at least inhibit a deterioration of) nutritional status is organized on the basis of 4 factors through which export cropping influences food intake, viz.: food availability; household ability to obtain available food; desire of the household to obtain food to which it has access; and intra-household food distribution. The policy implications of these factors are summarized. (wz)
