Summary: MCC’s $395.3 million Georgia Compact (2006-2011) funded the $20 million Agribusiness Development Activity (ADA), which was designed to accelerate the shift from subsistence to commercial agriculture. The ADA awarded 283 grants in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $300,000 to groups of farmers and enterprises motivated to apply innovative business solutions and technology. The activity was based on the theory that providing monetary resources would improve agribusiness productivity and efficiency, thereby increasing revenues and decreasing production costs.
