This is a $26,810,395 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA), a non-profit organization, to implement the USAID Agriculture Program in Georgia. The program is designed to accelerate growth of agricultural sub-sectors with strong potential to create jobs, increase incomes, and grow micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, CNFA has extensive experience implementing USAID programs, including a $23.75 million program to strengthen community resilience in Georgia and an $18.5 million contract to support a resilient economy in Azerbaijan. CNFA has also served as a subcontractor and recipient of USAID grants for agricultural development initiatives in countries like Rwanda, Mali, Zambia, and Malawi. A key subcontractor on this contract is the World Food Logistics Organization, which will provide technical assistance, market assessments, and training related to post-harvest, processing, cold storage, logistics, and supply chain management.
The contract was originally awarded in 2018 and is now being extended for 6 months to enable CNFA to continue supporting the export-readiness of Georgian agribusinesses and strengthen commercial linkages to new international markets, in response to the impacts of the war in Ukraine on the country's agricultural exports.
