The current trend in overseas assistance reflects a strong political desire to contribute to efforts to reduce poverty and ultimately eradicate poverty. Increasingly such allies may have their origin outside the agricultural sector.

In this adjustment even services benefiting the poorest countries are affected. All rights reserved.
