Bellmon Analysis
Bellmon Analysis Guidelines for West Africa
[PDF] format
Bellmon Analysis is required by US Federal law to determine that:
- adequate storage facilities are available in the recipient country to prevent the spoilage or waste of commodities
- importation
of the commodity will not result in a substantial disincentive to or interference
with domestic production or marketing in that country.
A
Bellmon Determination is supported by a Bellmon analysis, which is prepared
prior to the initiation of any PL 480 program. The Bellmon Determination
must be recertified each year.
In countries
where Public Law (PL) 480 commodities are already being programmed, the Cooperating
Sponsor (CS) reviews the existing Bellmon Analysis to determine whether the
marketplace can absorb the additional commodities, and whether storage is
adequate. In countries where no PL 480 program is operating, the Bellmon
Analysis must be undertaken.
