Abstract: Although food aid has been advocated for countries undertaking structural adjustment policies, political support for increased aid expenditures is lacking. Countertrade is proposed herein as a method for expanding food aid without increasing expenditures. Countertrade allows developing countries to accelerate growth in their export sectors while "financing" increased food assistance.
