Marketing Loans, Loan Deficiency Payments, and Commodity Certificates


Book Description

Marketing assistance loans are one of the three primary subsidies in U.S. farm commodity programs. Since the loan program is tied to current production, it is a source of controversy in international trade negotiations. The 2002 farm bill continues the marketing loan program and sets loan prices through 2007. Policy issues for the 109th Congress regarding loans include payment limitations (especially the unlimited use by farmers of commodity certificates to avoid the limits), and the U.S. response to international pressure over the trade-distorting nature of marketing loans. One purpose of the loan program is to provide short-term financing to allow farmers to pay their bills soon after harvest and facilitate orderly marketing throughout the rest of the year. The loan program also provides significant income support when market prices are below statutory loan rates. Marketing loan benefits to farmers averaged $6 billion from FY1999-FY2002, but have since declined to under $500 million as market prices have increased. This report will be updated as events warrant.

Agricultural Marketing Assistance Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments


Book Description

Marketing assistance loans for the major crops were designed to facilitate orderly marketing by providing short-term financing so that farmers could pay their bills right after harvest and spread their sales over the entire marketing year. However, the persistence of very low commodity prices transformed the loan program into a major vehicle of farm income support. Marketing loan program benefits (primarily loan deficiency payments, LDPs) to farmers amounted to about $5.9 billion in 1999, and will exceed $6.5 billion in 2000. Such levels of use and high costs have revealed several administrative problems and given rise to several policy issues. Some policy makers have favored broadening the scope and enhancing the benefits of the program to achieve greater farm income support. Anticipated adverse market impacts have discouraged adoption of these proposals to date. A persistent policy issue is the payment limitation on marketing loan gains.




The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018


Book Description

New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
