Abstract
U.S. domestic prices for some agricultural commodities sometimes are higher than prices of foreign competing commodities. In such instances the U.S. Government may provide export payment assistance for sales outside of Government programs (commercial sales for dollars) and sales under Government-financed export programs. This article discusses various forms of export payment assistance including payments in cash, payments in kind, and export-payment equivalents (CCC export dispositions below domestic market prices); it enumerates the conditions of eligibility for export payment assistance; and it analyzes by commodity the magnitude of export payment assistance to dollar sales and exports under Government-financed export programs for the year ending June 30, 1962.
