Accent On Agriculture
The profit incentive is still the best
way to increase food production, but
many of the food hungry rations of the
world are pursuing policies that go in
the opposite direction.
Well ? intentioned U.S. church leaders
and opportunist politicians who have
endeavored to promote national guilt
feelings about eating meat should be
appraised of a recent study of food
policies of SO countries.
The Foreign Agricultural Service of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture has
reported on a survey which shows that
46 of SO countries studied have policies
that directly or indirectly discourage
domestic production.
The disincentives revealed by the
survey include controls on retail food
prices and farm prices, export controls,
export taxes, subsidized imports,
exchange rate controls, restrictions on
credit, land tenure and farm size, non -
competitive buying in procurement
policies and restrictions on domestic
movements of farm products from one
district to another.
The study was not confined to the
less developed countries, but the
disincentive policies obviously are much
more critical to the levels of food
supplies in the less developed countries
than in developed countries.
Mafy of the disincentive policies,
cpvefed in the survey may sound
familiar to U.S. farmers.
The survey should be required
reading for all members of Congress
who are quick to advocate a cheap food
policy for this country with
accompanying export controls, price
controls and other trappings of a
government ? managed agriculture.
