Food Conservation Should Receive Greater

Attention In AID Agricultural Assistance

Policies And Programs

Developing countries lose billions of dollars of
food annually throughout the storage, distri-
bution, and marketing process. GAO assessed
Agency for International Development poli-
cies for helping developing countr es reduce
losses. It reviewed specific projects in the Phi-
lippines and Senegal and also considered
reported results of projects in Panama.The
Agency needs to

   --promote host government policies that
   provide incentives for post-harvest food
   conservation,

   --emphasize food conservation in its agri-
   cultural policies and prepare project guid-
   ance,

   --develop a research strategy including
   more specific guidance and criteria for
   existing university cooperation agree-
   ments,
   --promote a sound post-harvest storage
   program in Senegal, and

   --address the apparent inefficiencies in a
   recently constructed $1.4 million food
   processing center in the Philippines.
