Study urges US to boost exports via developing countries
A Curry Foundation study argues policies should expand farm development in poor nations to lift global demand for U.S. exports. It cites rising incomes in developing countries driving meat and dairy demand and notes high interest rates and a global recession, not competition, reduced US imports since 1981.

Technology aids exports but needs comprehensive policy shift
The Curry Foundation warns that U.S. aid alone cannot spark broad rural income growth. It urges developing nations to adopt farm, land, tax, credit, and exchange policies favoring the rural majority, while criticizing U.S. export subsidies and trade barriers that hinder Third World market development. It recommends channeling aid through neutral bodies, restructuring debts, and pursuing global policies to stabilize exchange rates and expand world trade.
