You mean free food distorts the market and forces domestic producers out of business? Supply and demand isn’t just theory? Math works? Who’d a thunk it?

The food aid is for things like rice or grain. The farmers grow fresh vegetables and fruits and some livestock. The farmers then don’t compete with the food aid providers. They compliment one another in terms of what they put on the table.
