Search 22 U.S.C. § 262g : US Code - Section 262G: Human nutrition in developing countries and United States assistance policies with international financial institutions; declaration of policy

The Congress declares it to be the policy of the United States,
in connection with its voice and vote in the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, the International Development
Association, the International Finance Corporation, the Inter-
American Development Bank, the African Development Fund, the Asian
Development Fund, and the Asian Development Bank, to combat hunger
and malnutrition and to encourage economic development in the
developing countries, with emphasis on assistance to those
countries that are determined to improve their own agricultural
production, by seeking to channel assistance for agriculturally
related development to projects that would aid in fulfilling
domestic food and nutrition needs and in alleviating hunger and
malnutrition in the recipient country. The United States
representatives to the institutions named in this section shall
oppose any loan or other financial assistance for establishing or
expanding production for export of palm oil, sugar, or citrus crops
if such loan or assistance will cause injury to United States
producers of the same, similar, or competing agricultural
commodity.
