Abstract

At the same time, a change in attitude toward agricultural surpluses was taking place, from ‘surpluses disposal’ to using surpluses to meet nutritional needs and assist economic development in the developing countries. In a landmark study, a CSD ad hoc group noted that `the most significant change is that instead of contending with unintentional surpluses, the thinking is now directed more toward the planned use of existing and future surpluses for meeting new demands arising in many developing countries’ (FAO, 1963c, p. 17). As a corollary, thinking in some quarters was also directed toward the deliberate over-production (as related to current effective demand) of agricultural commodities either as a consequence of internal agricultural policies or to make supplies available for noncommercial uses. At the same time, there were indications that some countries were making a conscious effort to avoid production of excessive surpluses.
