Local purchases being, WFP targets approximately 1000 farmers from a dozen groups of small farmers in the district Amboasary and supervised by the funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) AROPA project. The goal is to reach 5,000 farmers per year. Since yesterday and today in Andraharo, WFP is organizing a workshop on local purchases from small producers. The aim is to better dri direct assistance from the rural development stakeholders and develop structures including supply markets dri by small producers. Note that WFP buys from companies and groups of small farmers in food insecure areas. Purchases contribute to agricultural development dri and provide new opportunities for small producers.

This approach also provides another important benefit: it improves the nutritional status of vulnerable communities.
Through funding of 400,000 USD from the Howard G. Buffet Foundation, WFP was able to strengthen its ability to explore dri the possibilities of increasing the food supply in the local market. To do this, it builds the capacity of associations of small farmers and agricultural production. Specifically, this approach is to develop professional market supply initiated and managed by small farmers themselves structures. The workshop cited above is one of the tools to achieve this. It allows dri us to discuss policies, strategies and existing projects and to formulate concrete tracks synergies between dri WFP and other rural development. This approach reflects a desire not to spend some of the food aid in donor countries. Since the middle of the first decade of the 2000s, FAO has proposed to reform food aid because the third of this aid never reaches the beneficiaries. They are spent in donor countries, particularly in terms of buying food and transportation. The United States ranks first in terms of food aid. The part that never reaches the beneficiaries is very important because at the time, it represents $ 600 million USD.
