USA Rice Farmers (One From LA) Visit Food Aid With Recipients In Africa
ARUSHA, TANZANIA – For two weeks, USA Rice members and staff traveled here and throughout Kenya in a food aid “learning journey” along with participants representing U.S. Wheat Associates and the U.S. Grains Council. The group consulted with local governments, farmers, and private voluntary organizations (PVOs) which allowed the agriculture trade association representatives to gain firsthand knowledge of the implementation of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food assistance programs.
