Agricultural Production, Markets, and Food Security Sample Clauses

Agricultural Production, Markets, and Food Security. Agricultural production is important for food security, providing both an output and an income source. It is particularly critical in many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. The region’s population experiences highly variable annual production, limited tradability of food staples, and foreign exchange constraints that limit imports. Over half of WFP beneficiaries are small farmers, particularly vulnerable to recurrent food emergencies. Improving and stabilizing domestic production, the food supply chain, and local markets is essential for improving food security. The MCC-funded agricultural supply-chain investments and the WFP-funded “Purchase for Progress (P4P)” initiative, which buys locally produced foodstuffs from small farmers, represent possible areas of collaboration. Field level discussions will seek to determine the appropriate intersections with MCC and AGRA-supported farmers and the P4P initiative.
