摘要：For the southern Africa region, both a grain stocking program and an import insur-ance program would have reduced food supply variability more than historicalfood aid during 1970-95. The stocking program and the import insurance programwould have been less expensive than food aid from a donor point of view. Theseoptions may be attractive policy alternatives for donors and countries in otherregions, given the decline in food aid budgets in recent years and projections ofrising global food gaps.
