Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10606 0700 24
The FY2024 Food for Progress (FFPr) opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). It is designed to support agricultural and market-oriented development in eligible developing countries and emerging democracies that are working to introduce or expand free enterprise in their agricultural sectors. The core mechanism of the program is the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities to partner countries. Those commodities are typically sold in local markets, and the resulting proceeds are then used to fund on-the-ground agricultural development activities that align with the program's goals.
The program is built around two high-level strategic objectives. First, it aims to increase agricultural productivity, which can include efforts that improve farm-level output, strengthen value chains, boost efficiency, and raise the overall performance of the agricultural sector. Second, it aims to expand trade in agricultural products, including trade within a country, across a region, and internationally. In practice, this means projects are expected to help reduce barriers to commerce, improve market systems, enhance quality and standards, and otherwise support a stronger, more competitive agricultural economy that can participate more effectively in domestic and export markets.
This funding opportunity will be implemented through cooperative agreements, which generally means USDA anticipates substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than a hands-off grant structure. The activity category is Agriculture, and the opportunity is listed under CFDA/Assistance Listing number 10.606. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with specific eligibility requirements referenced in Section C of the official funding opportunity announcement, meaning applicants should consult that section to confirm whether their organization type and any other conditions meet USDA's requirements.
Key administrative details include an opportunity number of USDA FAS 10606 0700 24 and an original application closing date of July 1, 2024. USDA indicated it expects to make about 7 awards under this competition. The maximum funding amount (award ceiling) listed is $35,000,000 per award, signaling that the program is structured for large, multi-year and/or multi-component initiatives that can support meaningful agricultural and trade-related outcomes at scale. The opportunity was created/posted on April 25, 2024, by the Foreign Agricultural Service.Apply for USDA FAS 10606 0700 24
