Food demand in developing countries and the transition of world agriculture
指出发展中国家是发达国家农产品出口的唯一增长市场，但发达国家政策失误导致次优结果，并提出价格歧视、技术援助、基础设施支持等更优政策组合。
The food imbalances of developed and developing countries can provide mutually beneficial opportunities for each. The developing countries represent the only major growing market for agricultural exports from the developed countries. That potentially immense market can reduce the necessary pace of adjustment in the developed countries' agricultural sectors. Unfortunately, the failure of developed countries to recognize that their actions influence food demand in the developing countries results in grossly suboptimal policies. A more nearly optimal set of developed country policies would include price discrimination between elastic and inelastic food markets; technical assistance to developing countries in education and agricultural research; assistance in the development of infrastructure through increased support for food-for-work projects; stabilization of developing country access to food imports by expanding the IMF cereal financing facility; and improving developing countries' access to developed country markets for labour-intensive agricultural commodities.
