USAID Feed the Future Egypt Value Added Solutions Project

The USAID Feed the Future Egypt Value Added Solutions Project employs a market-driven systems-strengthening approach to enhance the competitiveness of horticulture producers, food processors, and downstream businesses. The initiative focuses on building capacity to meet the rigorous quality and safety standards required by domestic and international buyers, including supermarkets and restaurant chains. By leveraging previous efforts from the Government of Egypt and other donor projects, the contract aims to integrate producers more effectively into high-value markets. The project is structured around four primary objectives: strengthening sustainable market linkages, improving post-harvest handling and storage, increasing the productivity of small-scale farmers and processors, and improving the nutritional status of women and children. Managed by USAID/Egypt, the project seeks to create a more resilient agricultural value chain that responds dynamically to market demand while promoting broader health and economic outcomes.
