Global Food Crisis

The global food crisis of 1972–74 was the result of unusually poor harvests in many of the world’s major production areas. South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa were particularly hard hit and needed to import basic foodstuffs to avert famine. Unfortunately, because of unprecedented purchases by the Soviet Union and decisions by oil-exporting countries to raise prices on oil, poor countries faced higher prices for both food and energy, while the food aid donors found themselves unable to find food aid commodities at affordable prices to send to countries desperately in need. This chapter describes how these events came about, the depth of the problem in the hardest-hit countries, and the nature—and constraints on—the U.S. response to them.
