Food for Progress Program (FPP): A food aid program originally authorized by
the Food Security Act of 1985 to provide commodities on credit terms or on a
grant basis to developing countries and emerging democracies to assist in the
introduction of elements of free enterprise into the countries’ agricultural
economies. Commodities may be provided under authority of P.L. 480 (Title I) or
Section 416(b); the CCC may purchase commodities for use in Food for Progress if
the commodities are currently not held in CCC inventories. The FAIR Act of 1996
extends authority for the FPP through 2002.
