Committee on Agriculture
REVIEW OF FOOD AID LEVELS
Note by the Secretariat
1. Under the Committee's Working Procedures (G/AG/1, paragraph 18), the Committee, at its
November meetings, is to undertake its annual monitoring exercise in respect of the follow-up to
Marrakesh Ministerial Decision on Measures Concerning the Possible Negative Effects of the Reform
Programme on Least-Developed and Net Food-Importing Developing Countries.  This background
note has been prepared with the view to facili tating the Committee's annual review of the Decision
with regard to food aid matters.   The present note updates the food aid data contained in document
G/AG/W/20.1
2. Annex 1 provides details of annual shipments under the Food Aid Conventions, 1986 and
1995 as reported by donor members for the years 1986/87 to 1997/98 (corresponding to marketing
years 1 July to 30 June).  The quantities shown ar e wheat equivalents and include cash contributions,
triangular operations and shipments channelled through international organisations.  It should be
noted that Annex 1 shows contributions by year of shipment and shipments may cover obligations
relating to different years.
3. Both the 1986 and 1995 Food Aid Conventions designate developing countries as qualifying
for food aid.  Donors under the 1995 Convention undertook to give priority to developing countries
and territories with food import needs which are classified by the OECD Development Assistance
Committee as least-developed countries and other low-income or lower-middle-income countries.
4. Annexes 2 to 6 provide details of food aid levels as monitored and reported by the World
Food Programme (WFP) through its International Food Aid Information System (Interfais).  The WFP
data span the period 1987, when Interfais was created, to 1997 (the data for 1997 are provisional).
They cover recipient developing countries/territories which are listed in Part I of the OECD DAC List
of Aid Recipients as revised periodically.  For the purposes of this note, the WFP data exclude foodaid provided to "countries in transition" as listed on Part II of the DAC List of Aid Recipients, i.e.
more advanced Central and Eastern European Countries and New Independent States of the former
Soviet Union, as well as more advanced developing countries and territories.
5. The World Food Programme statistics in Annexes 2 to 6 differ from those under the Food Aid
Convention in a number of respects, including the following:
(i) the data from the WFP cover a wider range of donors than the Food Aid
Convention data;
                                                     
1It may be noted that in document G/AG/W/20 the existing international commitments in respect of
food aid are described in greater detail.G/AG/W/36
Page 2
(ii) the WFP data cover non-cereal food aid transactions which include products,
such as dairy products, vegetable oils and fats, and meat and fish, not covered
by the Food Aid Convention (Annex 2 refers);
(iii) the WFP data are based on actual food aid deliveries, with deliveries being
defined as imports by recipients and local purchases of food aid while theFood Aid Convention statistics are on a shipment basis; and
(iv) the WFP statistics are on a calendar year basis whereas the Food Aid
Convention statistics are on a July/June basis.
6. Deliveries of cereal food aid in Annexes 2, 3 and 4 are presented in grain equivalents
established in accordance with the Food Aid Convention or in the case of commodities which are not
included in the Food Aid Convention on the basis of conversion factors supplied by individual donors.
Deliveries of non-cereal food aid in Annexes 2, 5 and 6 have been aggregated on the basis of product
weight (volume).G/AG/W/36

Notes:
The Food Aid Convention requires that food aid contributions in fulfilment of annual obligations be
shipments in the form of grains suitable for human  consumption of an acceptable type and quality, or
the cash equivalent thereof.  Grain shipments in respect of the Food Aid Convention, 1986 covered
wheat, barley, maize, millet, oats, rye, sorghum and rice, and any other type of grain approved by theConvention's Food Aid Committee, or products derived therefrom, including products of secondary
processing.  In the Food Aid Convention, 1995, the product coverage of grain food aid has been
broadened to include pulses, contributions of which are not to exceed a specified proportion of donors'
minimum annual contributions.  Contributions in respect of the Food Aid Convention may also
include limited quantities of seed grain suited to local conditions in recipient countries.  Cashcontributions which involve the purchase of grains from developing or other developed countries
include transactions, such as triangular transactions, swap arrangements and local purchases.
* Unless otherwise specified, all shipments we re in respect of the Food Aid Convention, 1986
and the Food Aid Convention, 1995.  These figures refer to actual shipments completed
during the years shown and do not necessarily represent the performance of members in
relation to their minimum obligations.
a) 1986 - As listed in Article III, paragraph (3) of the Food Aid Convention 1986.
1995 - As listed in Article III, paragraph (4) of the Food Aid Convention 1995.
b) Wheat equivalent of cash contributions as calculated on the basis of the "prevailing
international market price".  These figures do not correspond to quantities actually shipped.
c) Includes quantities shipped by Canada in respect of its obligations for the following year.
d) Including shipments in respect of outstanding obligations under the 1980 Convention which
expired on 30 June 1986.
e) From 1995/96 Austria, Finland and Sweden included under EC.
f) Including WFP/Immediate Respons e Account (IRA) contributions.
g) Obligations under the Convention suspended between 1 July 1991 and 30 June 1993.
h) In respect of outstanding 1992/93 contributions.
i) Obligations under the Convention suspended between 1 July 1993 and 30 June 1995.
k) Norway's entire FAC cash contributions pl us additional cash to cover operational and
transport costs were transferred to WFP during 1995/96 and 1996/97.
