Since 1984, the U.S.
Congress has made funds available for training agriculturalists from middle
income countries, emerging markets, and emerging democracies. Training
opportunities are for senior and mid-level specialists and administrators,
from the public and private sectors, concerned with agricultural trade,
agribusiness development, management, policy, marketing, and technology
transfer. All training occurs in the United States. Training is provided via
a mix of technical instruction, practical field observations, and hands-on
experience. The Cochran Program works closely with USDA agencies, other
government agencies, universities, and U.S. agricultural trade and market
development associations to provide appropriate training.

1993. It has provided training to 141 Indonesian participants. The content
of individual programs varies widely, but typical examples are Supermarket
Management, Produce Handling, USDA Export Credit Programs, Meat & Poultry
Inspection, Agricultural Statistics, and Grain Purchasing.
Indonesian applicants can now apply for 2003
fellowships program. For selected participants, the Cochran Program provides

lodging, and, where applicable, training fees.
