The Food for Progress (FFPr) Program provides grant opportunities centered on the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities to eligible developing countries and emerging democracies. This initiative is specifically designed for nations dedicated to fostering and expanding free enterprise within their agricultural sectors. The donated commodities are generally sold on local markets, with the generated proceeds meticulously directed towards supporting vital agricultural development activities within those countries. The core purpose of this grant is to achieve two high-level strategic objectives: first, to significantly increase agricultural productivity, and second, to expand the trade of agricultural products across domestic, regional, and international markets. This comprehensive approach aims to bolster food security, economic growth, and self-sufficiency by empowering agricultural sectors in recipient nations.
