Food Review/ National Food Review, 1983, vol. NFR 21, issue 01

Abstract: T otal Federal expenditures for USDA's food programs amounted to $3.5 billion in the third quarter of 1982, about a 2.2-percent decrease over the same period a year earlier. Regular cash expenditures (for the Food Stamp Program, the child nutrition programs, and the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children) and cash payments in lieu of commodities fell by 2.6 percent and 23.8 percent, respectively, between the third quarter of 1981 and the third quarter of 1982. In contrast, the value of commodities distributed to low-income persons, schools, and charitable institutions rose by 11.6 percent between the two periods.
