World food needs and availabilities, 1989/90 : summer update

Despite large gains in agricultural production in food deficit countries, global food aid needs are 15.4 million tons.

1989

Abstract

Poor export earnings and continued debt service are limiting the ability of developing countries to pay for food imports at the same time that food prices are rising on world markets. Although this year"s global wheat crop is up, world consumption still exceeds production and ending stocks are projected to be slightly lower than last year. Projections call for prices to rise modestly from the 1988/89 average. (Author abstract)
