      abstract = {Bangladesh has now replaced India as the most publicized  large scale recipient of food aid importing 1.67 million  tons of food grains, four fifths of which were on  concessional terms, in 1977/78 ( July to June ). Some  analysts, extrapolating from the poor performance of the  agricultural sector upto the mid 1970s, also project that  Bangladesh will be one of the largest importers of  foodgrains in a decade's time merely in order to maintain  current pitifully inadequate levels of nutrition. Yet so  far there has been no open debate or systematic attempt to  analyse the impact of food aid on the Bangladesh economy  compared with the controversy and intensive analysis of  food aid to India. This article is intended to demonstrate  the seriousness of this gap in the literature. It includes  a review of provisional evidence on the role of food aid in  the Bangladesh economy during the first quinquennium of  planned development, 1972/3-1977/8.},
