Partnerships for food industry development | Fruits and Vegetables.
Partnerships for Food Industry Development (PFID) is a university/food industry joint technical assistance program that supports field operations that strengthen food industries in USAID host countries and promotes competitive participation in the global trading system. The project employs market-led strategies in collaboration with public and private partners to increase the competitiveness of small and medium scale producers in local, regional, and international markets, while also reducing poverty, increasing the sustainability of natural and economic systems, and improving the quality and safety of food products marketed.
