The most important actor in the development and expansion of this global food regime has been the USA, which, at the end of the secound world war, was producing large food surpluses. These surpluses were welcomed by many developing countries, for the orthodox model of development depended on the creation of a poolcof cheap wage labour to serve theindustrialization process. Hence, in order to encourage people off the land and away from subsistence production, the incentive to produce for oneself and one's family had to be removed. Cheap imported food provided this incentive, while the rsulting low prices paid for domestic subsistence crops made them unattractive to grow; indeed, for those who continued to produce for the local market, such as in Sudan, the consequence has been the production of food at a loss
