Abstract
To measure both the overall (commercial plus concessional) food import requirements and the additional food needs of each country for 1986/87 and 1987/88, two standards are used - a status quo assessment and a nutrition-based assessment. The most current available weather, crop production, and financial data were employed in making 1986/87 estimates; food availability for 1987/88 is estimated from historical production. Also presented are current regional summaries and an overall picture of food aid availabilities based on international donor capabilities.
