Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report Assessing Global Food Production and Needs as of April 15, 1979 Second, a review of the food needs data, the financial data, and the production performance data referred to above suggests that the most serious food aid needs are heavily concentrated in two dozen countries. Meeting the food aid needs of the most seriously affected countries would require record large aid donations of up to 25 million tons as well as an equally impressive restructuring of aid distribution to provide for target distribution of any increase in food supplies directly to the malnourished. Such a program would require substantial investment in both donor and recipient countries quite likely at very high opportunity costs.
