Description

Program Overview

The Food for Progress Program (FFPr) assists developing and emerging countries

strengthen their agricultural sectors. U.S. agricultural commodities are provided to

eligible entities as part of the agreement awards, which are then monetized in

local and/or regional markets. These proceeds are used to implement agricultural,

economic development projects.

Program Objectives

The FFPr program has two principal objectives:

To improve agricultural productivity; and
To expand trade of agricultural products.

Program Priorities

The program funding priorities of this NOFO are to support active FFPr

funds. Freight funds are not available under this Limited Merit Based NOFO.
