World food officials urge grain pledges to curb starvation
At the World Food Conference in Rome officials urged the United States and other exporters to commit 8 million to 12 million tons of grain from commercial markets to aid Asian and African nations unable to buy food. FAO chief Boerma warned of a supply gap and planned a meeting on November 29 to review actions, while US opposition to large scale diversion tied to cost and Arab oil funding prospects. Canada pledged one million tons annually for three years, but critics said this only restored diverted supplies from drought cravings.
