AMS purchases a variety of food products in support of the National School Lunch program and other Federal Feeding programs. These purchases also help to stabilize prices in agricultural commodity markets by balancing supply and demand. Fresh and processed food customarily purchased under these programs include fruits and vegetable, beef and pork, poultry and egg products, and fish. The AMS website contains a wealth of information of use to those who purchase and sell foods for these programs.
