SUBCHAPTER I—FINDINGS, POLICY, AND
PURPOSE
§ 5201. Findings
Congress finds that—
(1) United States agricultural exports have
declined by more than 36 percent since 1981,
from $43,800,000,000 in 1981 to $27,900,000,000 in
1987;
(2) the United States share of the world mar-
ket for agricultural commodities and products
has dropped by 20 percent during the last 6
years;
(3) for the first time in 15 years, the United
States incurred monthly agricultural trade
deficits in 1986;
(4) the loss of $1,000,000,000 in United States
agricultural exports causes the loss of 35,000
agricultural jobs and the loss of 60,000 non-
agricultural jobs;
(5) the loss of agricultural exports threatens
family farms and the economic well-being of
rural communities in the United States;
(6) factors contributing to the loss of United
States agricultural exports include changes in
world agricultural markets such as—
(A) the addition of new exporting nations;
(B) innovations in agricultural technology;
(C) increased use of export subsidies de-
signed to lower the price of commodities on
the world market;
(D) the existence of barriers to agricul-
tural trade;
(E) the slowdown in the growth of world
food demand in the 1980’s due to cyclical eco-
nomic factors, including currency fluctua-
tions and a debt-related slowdown in the
economic growth of agricultural markets in
certain developing countries; and
(F) the rapid buildup of surplus stocks as a
consequence of favorable weather for agri-
cultural production during the 1980’s;
(7) increasing the volume and value of ex-
ports is important to the financial well-being
of the farm sector in the United States and to
increasing farm income in the United States;
(8) in order to increase agricultural exports
and improve prices for farmers and ranchers in
the United States, it is necessary that all agri-
cultural export programs of the United States
be used in an expeditious manner, including
programs established under the Food for Peace
Act (7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.), the Commodity
Credit Corporation Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714
et seq.), and section 416 of the Agricultural
Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431);
(9) greater use should be made by the Sec-
retary of Agriculture of the authorities estab-
lished under section 4 1 of the Food for Peace
Act of 1966 (7 U.S.C. 1707a), the Food for Peace
Act (7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.), section 416 of the
Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431), and the
Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act (15
U.S.C. 714 et seq.) to provide intermediate
credit financing and other assistance for the
establishment of facilities in importing coun-
tries to—
(A) improve the handling, marketing,
processing, storage, and distribution of im-
ported agricultural commodities and prod-
ucts; and
(B) increase livestock production to en-
hance the demand for United States feed
grains;
(10) food aid and export assistance programs
in developing countries stimulate economic
activity which causes incomes to rise, and, as
incomes rise, diets improve and the demand
for and ability to purchase food increases;
