Section 416b 

Section 416(b) of the Agriculture Act of 1949 authorizes the donation of CCC-owned commodities in surplus of domestic program requirements to carry out programs of assistance in developing and friendly countries.  The commodities are made available for donation through agreements with foreign governments, private volunteer organizations, cooperatives, and the World Food Program.

The Section 416(b) program is currently not active, as there are no CCC-owned commodities available at this time.  Please check back on this site for future updates.
