Bellmon Analysis

Bellmon Analysis Guidelines for West Africa [PDF] format

 Bellmon Analysis is required by US Federal law to determine that:

  1. adequate storage facilities are available in the recipient country to prevent the spoilage or waste of commodities


  2. 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.
