Grants Boost Productivity and Income for Guatemalan Farmers

May 12, 2023

Counterpart’s USDA-funded Food for Progress program in Guatemala supports strengthening the capacities of 372 organizations and more than 37,000 producers. The program has issued 120 grants, which allowed farmers to access agricultural inputs, equipment, and services with an approximate value of $3 million, responding to the needs and risks that were difficult for the producers to cover by themselves. These grants played an important role in improving technology, productivity, and trading, and generating new income sources for Guatemalan farmers. Watch the video below to learn more.
