Abstract

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food for Progress (FFPr) project in Honduras is implemented by TechnoServe (2017 to 2022). Mejoramiento Agrícola Sostenible (MAS+) aims to improve the livelihoods of coffee and bean farmers in Honduras by improving their quality and yields on the farm; and by facilitating their access to direct marketing relationships, favorable financing mechanisms, and other important services across the market system. By supporting smallholders to become reliable suppliers of high-quality products, MAS+ demonstrates the business case for buyers to invest in financial- and technical-assistance to farmers. To date, the project has supported $20 million in incremental sales for farmers, with a $3.14 increase in farmers? gross incomes for every $1 invested by USDA.
