Headline World Food Situation: Livestock in Brazil

Caption Description The world is today facing a food shortage of near crisis proportions, and chronic malnutrition is widespread. Stocks of basic foodstuffs are at a low level. World market prices for cereals, fertilizers and petroleum products are greatly inflated and weigh heavily on the slender foreign exchange reserves of developing countries that must import these essentials. Fast population growth continues, particularly in those developing regions that currently are experiencing great difficulties in increasing their food supplies. A United Nations World Food Conference to be held in Rome in November 1974 is expected to concern itself first with a detailed assessment of the world food supply problem in the next ten years and beyond, and then turn to concrete proposals for improving food supply, distribution and food aid.

Farmer returning from a trip to the bank in Goiania. Brazil has great natural advantages for beef cattle raising. The growth of the sector has not been sufficient, however, to meet rising demand resulting from the increase in population and of per capita income. The Government of Brazil has undertaken a livestock expansion program with financial help from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) that is designed among other things to assist about 700 individual ranchers.
