    In order to use the food resources of the United States more 
effectively in support of developing countries, and countries that are 
emerging democracies that have made commitments to introduce or expand 
free enterprise elements in their agricultural economies through changes 
in commodity pricing, marketing, input availability, distribution, and

eligible entities to furnish to the countries eligible commodities made 
available under subsections (e) and (f) of this section.

(d) Consideration for agreements

    In determining whether to enter into an agreement under this 
section, the President shall consider whether a potential recipient 
country is committed to carry out, or is carrying out, policies that 
promote economic freedom, private, domestic production of eligible 
commodities for domestic consumption, and the creation and expansion of 
efficient domestic markets for the purchase and sale of such eligible 
commodities. Such policies may provide for, among other things--
        (1) access, on the part of farmers in the country, to private, 
    competitive markets for their product;
        (2) market pricing of eligible commodities to foster adequate 
    private sector incentives to individual farmers to produce food on a 
    regular basis for the country's domestic needs;
        (3) establishment of market-determined foreign exchange rates;
        (4) timely availability of production inputs (such as seed, 
    fertilizer, or pesticides) to farmers;
        (5) access to technologies appropriate to the level of 
    agricultural development in the country; and

    (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Corporation may 
use funds appropriated to carry out title I of the Agricultural Trade 
Development and Assistance Act of 1954 [7 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.] in 
carrying out this section with respect to eligible commodities made 
available under that Act [7 U.S.C. 1691], and subsection (g) of this

under this section.
    (5) No effect on domestic programs.--The President shall not make an

        (A) the Corporation does not hold stocks of such eligible
