World Food Bank

Description

The mission of World Food Bank™ is to resolve global inefficiencies that exist in food trade and to advance the interests of our partners through innovative product development, economic transparency and excellence in stewardship.

World Food Bank’s purpose is to bridge the gaps in agricultural trade through standardizing the market and shelf life on core agricultural commodities. Through strategically located food reserves, processors and disaster response organizations have a dependable source of food in the region. WFB stabilizes markets by buying at harvest when there is an abundance to keep prices from dipping too low. WFB is then able to sell back into markets facing price volatility or as needed for rapid deployment into areas affected by a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis.
