WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued its
revised allocations, by country and commodity, under Title I/TII of
Public Law 480 (the Food for Peace program) for fiscal year 1982.
Title I of P.L. 480 is a concessional sales program designed to promote
the export of agricultural commodities from the United States and to
promote economic development in recipient countries. These long-term
loans may be for up to 40 years with a 10-year grace period at low interest
rates. At least 75 percent of commodities provided under Title I must go
to poorer countries, identified as those with per capita incomes below f 730
annually.
Pood for Development programs (Title III) provide for the forgiveness
of the incurred debt based on accomplishments in development programs
and projects, as mutually agreed upon by the United States and recipient
countries.
Under Secretary of Agriculture Seeley G. Lodwick said the revised
plans provide for the distribution of |893.5 million in planned commodity

shipments. Of this amount, $665.5 million is presently allocated and $2B
million is being held in an unallocated reserve. . .
No country dollar allocations have been changed since the initial
allocation table was released last October; but the overall level of
commodity programming has been reduced by $72 million. Lodwick said
this reduction is due to a number .of factors including a reduced ap
propriation enacted by Congress last December and a transfer of $3O
million to the Title II program.
Lodwick said the revised allocations meet the legal requirement that
not less than 75 percent of food aid commodities be allocated to friendly
countries that meet the International Development Association poverty
criterion. Eighty-two percent of the Title I/111 food commodities is
presently allocated to countries meeting the criterion, he said.
Among otherfactors, Lodwick said the program takes into account
variations in commodities and budget availabilities in the United States
and in participating countries; changing economic and foreign policy'
situations; potential for market development; fluctuations in commodity t
prices; availability 6f handling, storage and distribution facilities; and
possible disincentives to local production.
Except for agreements already signed, the country and commodity
allocations announced do not represent final U.S. government com
mitments. Each program must still be reviewed and approved prior to
negotiations with individual recipient countries before final U.S.
government agreements are signed.
