New grain insurance plan to prevent famine worldwide
Washington based economist D Gale Johnson proposes a global grain insurance scheme for developing nations. Under the plan donor nations would supply insurance grain when a country’s production falls 6 percent below expected, after its own reserves cover the first 6 percent. The program would be low cost for donors and could become a primary form of aid while preserving incentives for domestic production.
