MADISON, Wis. – The World Council of Credit Unions has been awarded over 26,000 metric tons of wheat to support one of its projects against AIDS and HIV in Africa.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service made the award through its Food for Progress program.
According to Cassie Radiemaekers, project support specialist for WOCCU, the organization will have to identify a shipper for the wheat and then facilitate the selling of the grain at the wholesale level in Kenya. The wheat will then likely be sold at the retail level in Nairobi and other major Kenyan cities. The African country has been experiencing a drought that has diminished the ability of its own agricultural sector to meet market demand.
