# 7 U.S.C. § 1691a - Food aid to developing countries
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Policy In light of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture and the Ministerial Decision on Measures Concerning the Possible Negative Effects of the Reform Program on Least-Developed and Net-Food Importing Developing Countries, the United States reaffirms the commitment of the United States to providing food aid to developing countries.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) in negotiations at the Food Aid Convention, the World Trade Organization, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and other appropriate venues, the President shall—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) seek commitments of higher levels of food aid by donors in order to meet the legitimate needs of developing countries;
|
||||
|
||||
(B) ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that humanitarian nongovernmental organizations, recipient country governments, charitable bodies, and international organizations shall continue—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) to be eligible to receive resources based on assessments of need conducted by those organizations and entities; and
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) to implement food aid programs in agreements with donor countries; and
|
||||
|
||||
(C) ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that options for providing food aid for emergency and nonemergency needs shall not be subject to limitation, including in-kind commodities, provision of funds for agricultural commodity procurement, and monetization of commodities, on the condition that the provision of those commodities or funds—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) is based on assessments of need and intended to benefit the food security of, or otherwise assist, recipients, and
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) is provided in a manner that avoids disincentives to local agricultural production and marketing and with minimal potential for disruption of commercial markets; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) the United States should increase its contribution of bona fide food assistance to developing countries consistent with the Agreement on Agriculture.
|
||||
|
||||

Editorial Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Amendments2008—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 110–246 reenacted introductory provisions without change, added par. (1), and struck out former par. (1) which read as follows: “the President should initiate consultations with other donor nations to consider appropriate levels of food aid commitments to meet the legitimate needs of developing countries; and”. 1996—Pub. L. 104–127 substituted “Food aid to developing countries” for “Global food aid needs” in section catchline and amended text generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: “In view of the principal findings of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences that doubling food aid above 1990 levels of about 10,000,000 metric tons per year would be necessary to meet projected global food needs throughout the decade of the nineties, it is the sense of Congress that the President should— “(1) increase the contributions of food aid by the United States, and encourage other donor countries to increase their contributions toward meeting new food aid requirements; and “(2) encourage other advanced nations to make increased food aid contributions to combat world hunger and malnutrition, particularly through the expansion of international food and agricultural assistance programs.” 1990—Pub. L. 101–624 amended section generally, substituting present provisions for provisions urging President to maintain United States food assistance and encourage other countries to increase their contributions, in order to meet annual goal of World Food Conference of providing 10,000,000 tons of food assistance annually for needy nations.

L. 90–7, Apr. 1, 1967, 81 Stat. 7, provided: “That the Congress approves the participation of the United States in cooperation with other countries and with multilateral organizations, including the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and others, in urgent international efforts designed to— “(a) develop a comprehensive self-help approach to the war on hunger based on a fair sharing of the burden among the nations of the world; “(b) encourage and assist the Government of India in achieving food self-sufficiency; and “(c) help meet India’s critical food and nutritional needs by making available agricultural commodities or other resources needed for food procurement or production.“Because uncertainty in connection with Public Law 480 transactions tends to depress market prices, it is the sense of Congress that, in carrying out this Aid to India program, the Administration should, subject to the requirement of section 401 of Public Law 480 [section 1731 of this title] with respect to the availability of the commodity at the time of exportation, make announcements of intention, purchases and shipments of commodities on schedules and under circumstances which will protect and strengthen farm market prices to the maximum extent possible. “The Congress endorses the President’s policy of equal participation on the part of the United States with all other nations, under terms and conditions set forth in Public Law 480, as amended [this chapter], in assisting the Government of India to meet these needs. “Further, the Congress recommends, on the basis of estimates now available, that the United States provide an additional amount of food grain not to exceed three million tons at an estimated cost of $190,000,000 as the United States share toward meeting the India food deficit, provided it is appropriately matched, and specifically extends its support to the allocation of approximately $190,000,000 of funds available to the Commodity Credit Corporation in calendar year 1967 which will be required to accomplish this purpose. “The Congress further recommends that the President provide an additional $25,000,000 of emergency food relief for distribution by CARE and other American voluntary agencies.”

# 7 U.S.C. § 1728 - Findings regarding emergency food assistance
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
The Congress finds that—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) acute food crises continue to cause loss of life, severe malnutrition, and general human suffering in many areas of the Third World, especially in sub-Saharan Africa;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) the United States continues to respond to these needs, as a reflection of its humanitarian concern for the people of the Third World, with emergency food and other necessary assistance to alleviate the suffering of those affected by severe food shortages;
|
||||
|
||||
(3) the timely provision of food and other necessary assistance to those in need is of paramount importance if the worst effects of such food crises are to be mitigated; and
|
||||
|
||||
(4) the ability of the United States to provide food and other necessary assistance on a timely basis, and to ensure that such assistance is distributed to those in need, should be enhanced in order to better enable the United States to help those affected by severe food shortages.

# 7 U.S.C. § 1728a - President’s Emergency Food Assistance Fund
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Establishment; authority of President to furnish assistance from Fund There is hereby established the President’s Emergency Food Assistance Fund (hereafter in this subchapter referred to as the “Fund”). Whenever the President determines it to be in the national interest of the United States, he is authorized to furnish, in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter, and on such terms and conditions as he may determine, assistance from the Fund for the purpose of alleviating the human suffering of peoples outside the United States caused by acute food shortages. Such assistance may be provided through such governments or other entities, private or public, including intergovernmental and multilateral organizations, as the President deems appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Types of assistance authorized Because the effects of severe food shortages will vary with the country or region, assistance to alleviate human suffering may include the provision of food assistance or such activities as the provision of seed, animal fodder, animal vaccines, and transportation (including inland transportation) and distribution services.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Authorization of appropriations There are authorized to be appropriated to the President $50,000,000 each for fiscal year 1985 and fiscal year 1986 to carry out the purposes of this subchapter, to remain available until expanded.11 So in original. Probably should be “expended.”
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Authority of President The President may make loans, advances, and grants to, make and perform agreements and contracts with, or enter into transactions with, any individual, corporation, or other body of persons, government or government agency, whether within or without the United States, and international and intergovernmental organizations in furtherance of the purposes and within the limitations of this subchapter.

Prior to amendment, text read as follows: “No agricultural commodity shall be available for disposition under this chapter if the Secretary determines that the disposition would reduce the domestic supply of the commodity below the supply needed to meet domestic requirements and provide adequate carryover (as determined by the Secretary), unless the Secretary determines that some part of the supply should be used to carry out urgent humanitarian purposes under this chapter.” 1996—Pub. L. 104–127 added subsec. (a) and struck out former subsec. (a) which authorized Secretary, after consultation with other affected Federal agencies, to determine agricultural commodities and quantities thereof available for disposition, redesignated subsec.

(f) as (c) and substituted “(b)(1)” for “(e)(1)”, struck out former subsec. (c) which provided for nonavailability of commodities if domestic supply of such commodities was adversely affected, and struck out subsec. (d) which outlined policies for distribution of commodities to developing countries. 1990—Pub. L. 101–624 amended section generally, substituting present provisions for provisions authorizing Secretary to determine types and quantities of commodities available for distribution, limiting distribution where domestic supply is threatened, and requiring available storage facilities in recipient country prior to making commodities available to such country as well as finding that distribution will not result in interference with production or marketing in that country. 1979—Subsec. (b)(2). Pub. L. 96–53 substituted “to or interference with domestic production or marketing in” for “to domestic production in”. 1977—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 95–113 inserted provisions under which commodities may be made available for disposition if the Secretary of Agriculture determines that some part of the supply of commodities should be used to carry out urgent humanitarian purposes, even though such disposition would reduce the domestic supply of those commodities below that needed to meet domestic requirements, provide adequate carryover, and allow for anticipated exports. Pub. L. 95–88 designated existing provisions as subsec. (a). Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 95–88 added subsec. (b). 1966—Pub. L. 89–808 substituted provisions relating to determination and criteria for such determination by the Secretary of Agriculture of agricultural commodities available for disposition for former statement of purpose of provisions relating to long-term supply contracts, now covered by subchapter II of this chapter. 1962—Pub.

|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) In general Before entering into agreements with foreign countries under subchapters II and III–A for the provision of commodities, the Secretary or the Administrator, as appropriate, shall consider the extent to which the recipient country is undertaking measures for economic development purposes in order to improve food security and agricultural development, alleviate poverty, and promote broad-based, equitable, and sustainable development.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Terms of agreement An agreement entered into under this chapter shall—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) include an estimate of the annual value or volume of agricultural commodities proposed to be made available to the country or eligible organization under the agreement;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) with respect to agreements entered into with foreign countries under subchapters II and III–A, include a statement of the manner in which the agricultural commodities provided under the agreement or the revenues generated by the sale of such commodities (if such commodities are sold), will be integrated into the overall development plans of the country to improve food security and agricultural development, alleviate poverty, and promote broad-based, equitable, and sustainable agriculture and broad-based economic growth;
|
||||
|
||||
(3) with respect to agreements entered into under subchapters II and III–A, include a statement of the manner in which competitive private sector participation within the recipient country in the storage, marketing, transportation, and distribution of agricultural commodities made available under this chapter will be encouraged;
|
||||
|
||||
(4) include a statement that such agreement shall be subject to the availability, during each fiscal year to which the agreement applies, of the necessary appropriations and agricultural commodities; and
|
||||
|
||||
(5) contain such other terms and conditions as the Secretary or the Administrator, as appropriate, determines to be necessary.

|
||||
|
||||
(2) Exception The Secretary or the Administrator, as appropriate, may determine not to make assistance available on a multi-year basis with respect to a recipient country or an eligible organization if it is determined that assistance should be provided to such country or through such organization only on an annual basis because—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) the past performance of the country or organization in meeting program objectives does not warrant a multi-year agreement;
|
||||
|
||||
(B) it is anticipated that the need of the country or organization for food aid does not extend beyond 1 year; or
|
||||
|
||||
(C) other circumstances, as determined by the Secretary or the Administrator, as appropriate, indicate there is only a need for a 1 year agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Review of agreements The Secretary or the Administrator, as appropriate, may make a determination to terminate, or refuse to enter into, a multi-year agreement with respect to a recipient country if the Secretary or the Administrator determines that such country is not fulfilling the objectives or requirements of this chapter. In making such a determination, the Secretary or the Administrator, as appropriate, may consider the extent to which the country is—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) making significant economic development reforms;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) promoting free and open markets for food and agricultural producers; and
|

||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Authority The President, taking into account the financial resources of a country, may waive payments of principal and interest that such country would otherwise be required to make to the Commodity Credit Corporation under dollar sales agreements under subchapter II if—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) that country is a least developed country; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) either—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) an International Monetary Fund standby agreement is in effect with respect to that country;
|
||||
|
||||
(B) a structural adjustment program of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or of the International Development Association is in effect with respect to that country;
|
||||
|
||||
(C) a structural adjustment facility, enhanced structural adjustment facility, or similar supervised arrangement with the International Monetary Fund is in effect with respect to that country; or
|
||||
|
||||
(D) even though such an agreement, program, facility, or arrangement is not in effect, the country is pursuing national economic policy reforms that would promote democratic, market-oriented, and long term economic development.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Request for debt relief by President The President may provide debt relief under subsection (a) only if a notification is submitted to Congress at least 10 days prior to providing the debt relief. Such a notification shall—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) specify the amount of official debt the President proposes to liquidate; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) identify the countries for which debt relief is proposed and the basis for their eligibility for such relief.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Appropriations action required The aggregate amount of principal and interest waived under this section may not exceed the amount approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating funds to carry out this chapter.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Limitation on new credit assistance If the authority of this section is used to waive payments otherwise required to be made by a country pursuant to this chapter, the President may not provide any new credit assistance for that country under this chapter during the 2-year period beginning on the date such waiver authority is exercised, unless the President provides to the Congress, before the assistance is provided, a written justification for the provision of such new credit assistance.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) Applicability The authority of this section applies with respect to credit sales agreements entered into before November 28, 1990.
|
||||
|
||||

Amendments1991—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 102–237, § 326, substituted “subchapter II” for “this subchapter” in introductory provisions. Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 102–237, § 336, inserted “at least 10 days prior to providing the debt relief” before period at end of first sentence. Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 102–237, § 322, substituted “November 28, 1990” for “the date of enactment of this Act”. 1990—Pub. L. 101–624 amended section generally, substituting present provisions for provisions prohibiting assistance under subchapters II, III and III–A of this chapter to North Vietnam after July 1, 1973, unless specifically authorized by Act of Congress.

Renegotiation of Payment Terms of Loans for Sale of Agricultural CommoditiesPub. L. 102–27, title II, Apr. 10, 1991, 105 Stat. 147, as amended by Pub. L. 110–246, title III, § 3001(c), June 18, 2008, 122 Stat. 1821, provided that: “Title I of the Public Law 480 [7 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.] program allowed for the repayment of loans for the sale of agricultural commodities in foreign or local currencies until December 31, 1971. Since that time, until the law was changed in the 1985 farm bill [probably means Pub. L. 99–198, see Tables for classification], all sales have been on dollar credit terms. In view of the present financial situation, it is impossible for many countries to repay their loans in dollars. Therefore, the President may use the authority in section 411 and section 604 of the Food for Peace Act [7 U.S.C. 1736e, 1738c] to renegotiate the payment on Public Law 480 debt in eligible countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa.”

||||
|
||||
(a) Substantial injury Local currencies that are made available for use under this chapter may not be used to finance the production for export of agricultural commodities (or products thereof) that would compete in the world market with similar agricultural commodities (or products thereof) produced in the United States, if such competition would cause substantial injury to the United States producers, as determined by the President.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Exception for narcotics control Notwithstanding subsection (a), the President may provide assistance under this chapter, including assistance through the use of local currencies generated by the sale of commodities under such chapter, for economic development activities undertaken in an eligible country that is a major illicit drug producing country (as defined in section 2291(i)(2) 11 So in original. Probably should be section “2291(e)(2)”. of title 22), for the purpose of reducing the dependence of the economy of such country on the production of crops from which narcotic and psychotropic drugs are derived.

||||
(6) to the extent that local currencies can be used to meet the costs of a program established under this section, augment funds of the United States that are available for such a program through the use, within the country in which the program is being conducted, of—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) foreign currencies that accrue from the sale of agricultural commodities and products under this chapter; and
|
||||
|
||||
(B) local currencies generated from other types of foreign assistance activities.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Special emphasis on sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin countries (1) Findings Congress finds that—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) agricultural producers in sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin countries need training in agricultural techniques that are appropriate for the majority of eligible agricultural producers in those countries, including training in—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) standard growing practices;
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) insecticide and sanitation procedures; and
|
||||
|
||||
(iii) other agricultural methods that will produce increased yields of more nutritious and healthful crops;
|
||||
|
||||
(B) agricultural producers in the United States (including African-American agricultural producers) and banking and insurance professionals have agribusiness expertise that would be invaluable for agricultural producers in sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin countries;
|
||||
|
||||
(C) a commitment by the United States is appropriate to support the development of a comprehensive agricultural skills training program for those agricultural producers that focuses on—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) improving knowledge of insecticide and sanitation procedures to prevent crop destruction;
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) teaching modern agricultural techniques that would facilitate a continual analysis of crop production, including—
|
||||
|
||||
(I) the identification and development of standard growing practices; and
|
||||
|
||||
(II) the establishment of systems for recordkeeping;
|
||||
|
||||
(iii) the use and maintenance of agricultural equipment that is appropriate for the majority of eligible agricultural producers in sub-Saharan African or Caribbean Basin countries;
|
||||
|
||||
(iv) the expansion of small agricultural operations into agribusiness enterprises by increasing access to credit for agricultural producers through—
|
||||
|
||||
(I) the development and use of village banking systems; and
|
||||
|
||||
(II) the use of agricultural risk insurance pilot products; and
|
||||
|
||||
(v) marketing crop yields to prospective purchasers (including businesses and individuals) for local needs and export; and
|
||||
|
||||
(D) programs that promote the exchange of agricultural knowledge and expertise through the exchange of American and foreign agricultural producers have been effective in promoting improved agricultural techniques and food security and the extension of additional resources to such farmer-to-farmer exchanges is warranted.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Goals for programs carried out in sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin countries The goals of programs carried out under this section in sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin countries shall be—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) to expand small agricultural operations in those countries into agribusiness enterprises by increasing access to credit for agricultural producers through—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) the development and use of village banking systems; and
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) the use of agricultural risk insurance pilot products;
|
||||
|
||||
(B) to provide training to agricultural producers in those countries that will—
|
||||
|
||||
(i) enhance local food security; and
|
||||
|
||||
(ii) help mitigate and alleviate hunger;
|
||||
|
||||
(C) to provide training to agricultural producers in those countries in groups to encourage participants to share and pass on to other agricultural producers in the home communities of the participants, the information and skills obtained from the training, rather than merely retaining the information and skills for the personal enrichment of the participants; and
|
||||
|
||||
(D) to maximize the number of beneficiaries of the programs in sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Basin countries.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Minimum funding Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any funds that may be specifically appropriated to carry out this section, not less than the greater of $10,000,000 or 0.5 percent of the amounts made available for each of fiscal years 2008 through 2013, and not less than the greater of $15,000,000 or 0.6 percent of the amounts made available for each of fiscal years 2014 through 2023, to carry out this chapter shall be used to carry out programs under this section, with—
