This past spring, the U.S. Grains Council launched its Food for Progress Tanzania Program with an eye toward sustainably enhancing the capacity of the poultry production and feed milling industries in Tanzania. At the Council\u2019s 54th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting <\/a>in Omaha, Nebraska, July 28-30, 2014, USGC Manager of Global Development Programs Anne Zaczek will speak on the program\u2019s progress so far and its future outlook.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an exciting undertaking for the Council,\u201d said USGC Chairman Julius Schaaf. \u201cThe goal of the project is to create self-sustaining industries and associations in Tanzania so they can build off the Council\u2019s work and improve the lives of Tanzanian consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following four outcomes are keys to overall success for this program:
\u2022 A self-sustaining feed quality lab that feed millers use to test the quality of feed and ingredients
\u2022 Effective feed industry marketing programs to teach poultry producers about the advantages of quality feed and to provide training about other facets of poultry production
\u2022 Viable poultry producer association and feed manufacturer association that are effective in promoting government policies and regulations and providing members with information to improve efficiency and profitability
\u2022 Increased consumer confidence in the safety and quality of poultry leading to increased consumption and expanded local production<\/p>\n

\u201cAnne\u2019s insights into this project will be fascinating,\u201d Schaaf said.<\/p>\n
