(1) to make development of agricultural markets in developing countries a high priority of the foreign economic policy of the Nation; and (2) in doing so, to make more effective use of the food aid and agricultural export development tools provided in the Food Security Act of 1985 and other laws, by developing, on a country by country basis, a broad, comprehensive, and integrated program of food aid and economic development assistance to build future foreign commercial markets for United States agricultural products.
