Abstract: Global food demand is analyzed for three U.S. export commodity groups: coarse grains, wheat and rice, and meat. The analysis provides insight into potential export markets by anticipating changes in countries' food demand as economic development proceeds. Global demand functions for the food groups were estimated by pooling cross-sectional and time series data for 105 countries. These functions were graphed to show the changing commodity composition of global food demand and associated income ranges.
