Development aid could bolster US farm exports says Paarlberg
Political scientist Robert L. Paarlberg argues US acts to develop Third World farming can raise demand for American products. His report, funded by the Curry Foundation, envisions a partnership between American and developing country farmers, with careful policy to avoid harming domestic growers. He cites studies showing rising imports of staple foods and animal feed in developing nations as growth from farm sector prosperity expands. He warns subsidies and protectionism may undermine long run export gains and highlights Taiwan and Korea as examples of import growth driven by expanded agriculture.
