These factors steer how we work to strengthen global agricultural markets. But, you don’t have to take our word for it. Learn more about individual projects below.

Libera Food for Progress Act

Introduced goat production and improved processing safety

This USDA Food for Progress project worked to revitalize Liberia’s meat processing industry and restore food safety and quality standards by promoting commercial goat production. We sought to harness the potential that livestock, such as cattle and goats, have for restoring the nation’s agricultural economy and improving livelihoods.

In collaboration with the Government of Liberia, the project trained and certified processors in safe handling techniques and developed a seal of quality. This initiative also prevented and treated animal diseases by rebuilding local capacity for veterinary, animal health and livestock husbandry extension services.
