Commodity Import Grant (CIP) to facilitate the privatization and restructuring of the livestock industry in Romania and improve that industry's chances for long-term survival under competitive market conditions. The CIP consists of two parts: (1) The CIP will import and make available through commercial channels the soy protein feedstocks required for private sector livestock producers to remain in production and compete with existing state-controlled production units. TA for this effort, which will be implemented by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), will be funded under the regional Restructuring Agriculture and Agribusiness project (1800024). (2) Local currency generations, along with grant-funded TA by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey, will be used to accelerate the rural cadaster needed to redistribute land into private hands, a factor considered essential to increasing the stable supply of feedgrains at reasonable prices for private livestock producers.
