UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOOD FOR PROGRESS PROGRAM

The Food for Progress program provides for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities to developing countries and emerging democracies that are committed to introducing or expanding free enterprise in their agricultural economies. Donated U.S. commodities are typically 'monetized' (sold on the local market in the beneficiary country) and the proceeds are used to fund agricultural development activities.   This NOFO contains Country guidance for Venezuela, updating the USDA-FAS-FFPR-19 listing at: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=313798.  This NOFO is only applicable to applications for cooperative agreements for the country of Venezuela.    Go to related documents to find the full announcement, details on how to apply, and other important information.  This information has also been posted to:  https://apps.fas.usda.gov/fais/public
