US overseas market promotion: an overview of non-price programs and expenditures

Article Abstract:

The Foreign Agricultural Service expands export markets for US agricultural products through non-price foreign trade promotion programs. One of two major programs is the Foreign Market Development Program (FMDP), which expends an average of $30 million per year. Another non-price program is the Targeted Export Assistance (TEA) Program, which uses up almost $98.5 million annually. For the period 1986-1988, 55% of FMDP funds were used to promote traditional products, while 53% of TEA funds were spent to promote horticultural products.

Supply response and demand for basic grains in El Salvador

Article Abstract:

A supply and demand model was developed for the estimation of the effect of shifts in price and nonprice factors in different basic grain subsectors in El Salvador. The resulting econometric model uses three behavioral equations to characterize the area cultivated, yield and demand responses and one other equation to indicate market equilibrium. Empirical application of the model demonstrates significant inelasticities in demand and supply for all grains.
