FFPr
10.606
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 private sector involvement, Food for Progress (FFPr) furnishes agricultural commodities to those countries, which are then sold. The proceeds from those sales is used to provide technical assistance intended to improve agricultural productivity in those countries, and to expand trade of agricultural products to, from, and within those countries. Program effectiveness is tracked against 24 standard indicators relating to increased agricultural productivity, improved land and water resource quality, use of financial services, institutional capacity, leverage of private sector resources, post-harvest infrastructure, and expansion of agricultural trade.
