Countries buying commodities fff title IV dollar credits had repaid the U.S. $34.6 million through 1965. The local currencies which countriesacquire when they sell title IVfood andfiber to their own citizens is usedfor economic development projects agreeableto the U.S.-such as this grainelevator in the Ryukyu Islands. 1956 RECIPIENTS: Ten Years Later From the beginning of Public Law 480 through December 31, 1965, 506 sales agreements have been signed with 60 countries. Under sales and donation programs combined, 150 million tons of farm commodities, having a total export market value of $14.6 billion, have been supplied to over six score countries, The first complete fiscal year cf Public Law 480 operations was fiscal year 1956. By the end of that fiscal year, title I sales programs were underway with 27 countries. In seeking ways to measure the effectiveness of Public Law 480, the Agriculture Trade Development and Assistance Act, one yardstick is the degree to which commercial marketing has replaced concessional imports. Even restricting consideration to imports from the United States, it is interesting to review the current picture of those countries who were recipients in 1956. Fourteen of the 27 countries were no longer receiving title I food aid in 1965 (see Table XXXVIII). All but two were receiving virtually 100 percent of their agricultural imports from the United States on full coinmercial terms. Together, these 14 had tripled their combined commercial purchases of U.S. food and fiber, In 1956, seven of these countries purchased 50 percent or more of their U.S. agricultural imports on a coinmercial sales basis. In 1963, eleven of them did. Some among this group of 14 had become food aid donor nations. Even if one excludes France, Germany, and the United 65-324 0-60-----8 Kingdom, who in 1956 were at the end of U.S. supported postwar reconstruction, and whose current commercial purchases are very large, the remaining countries bought commercially almost $1.2 billion in U.S. agricultural products in 1965. This was over four times their commercial purchases in 1956. The remaining 13 of the original 27 recipients were still receiving title I food aid a decade later (see Table XXXIX). Nevertheless, their combined commercial purchases from the Uiited States had more than doubled during the period, rising from $79 million in 1956 to $168 million in 1965. Of these 13, three countries had made the transition to title IV purchases for dollars by December 31, 1965, and were still receiving title I shipments only as a result of agreements signed prior to 1965; an additional four countries will begin to buy under title IV during 1966. A wide range of problems confronts that group of countries still buying U.S. farm commodities under title I. Some are making encouraging, even surprising progress. Others have not yet mastered basic problems of capital formation, manpower training, and agricultural technology. Many still face difficulties in breaking away from antiquated systems of cultivation, land tenure, and marketing. Some are under relentless pressure from population increases. Despite these and other difficulties, most of the continuing title I recipients have succeeded in expanding food production fast enough to keep pace with population growth. 113
