How the United States Benefits from Agricultural and Food Security Investments in Developing Countries

U.S. foreign agricultural assistance investments bring substantial economic, health, and security benefits to the United States. This report describes food security investments of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and how improving agriculture in developing countries brings positive returns to the United States.

America’s commitment to foreign agricultural aid is rooted in the dual benefits that accrue both to developing countries and to American farmers, companies, workers, and consumers. Agricultural development raises household incomes abroad, which boosts demand for U.S. agricultural and manufactured exports. New agricultural and food-system technologies developed with U.S. assistance become global goods that raise agricultural productivity both at home and abroad. And improved agricultural supply chains in developing countries contribute to a safe and steady supply of off-season fruits and vegetables, coffee, chocolate, and spices in the United States.
