marva Poultry Industry, Inc.
(DPI), the nonprofit trade associa
tion working for the continued
progress of Delmarva’s poultry in
dustry, exceeded its 1993 fund
drive goal with cash and pledges
totaling $501,727.
That news was announced by
Fund Drive Chairman Walter W.
Moorhead at the recent Delmarva
Poultry Booster Banquet in Salis
bury, Md.
Moorhead told the nearly 2,400
DPI supporters, “When you have a
quality product or service and a
membership such as ours that be
lieves in the organization, success
is contagious.”
The annual fund drive is DPl's
means of raising money to support
its many services and programs.
DPl's membership consists of
close to 4,000 persons and com
panies, including poultry growers,
allied, industry suppliers of pro
ducts and services, Delmarva's
eight poultry companies, poultry
company employees, and hund
reds of nonpoultry businesses on
Delmarva which recognize the
economic importance of the in
dustry to this area.
The booster banquet is also the
occasion at which DPI presents
awards to Delmarva’s outstanding
poultry growers and to two indivi
duals who have made significant
contributions to the poultry indus
try.

prominent Washington,
D.C.-based international develop

brate the 30th anniversary of its
establishment at the group’s an
nual meeting to be held June 7 in
Washington, D.C.
During its 30-year history, the
nonprofit firm. Agricultural Co
operative Development Interna
tional (ACDI), has focused pri
marily on promoting the develop
ment of agriculture and
cooperative business organiza
tions in developing countries
around the world. In total, ACDI
has in some 70 nations.
In the last two years ACDI has
expanded into several new pro
gram areas, including trade and in
vestment promotion in Latin
America and the Caribbean and
broad structural adjustment pro
grams in the emerging democra
cies of Central and Eastern Europe
and the former Soviet Union. In
both Poland and Russia, for exam
ple, ACDI is helping reform and
regenerate those nations' farm
credit systems.
ACDI’s total revenues f?om all
sources have increased signifi
cantly in recent years, growing
from $4.9 million in 1986 to $12.6
million in 1992.
To further broaden the services
it could provide, ACDI earlier this
year created a new, allied nonpro
fit corporation called Agricultural
Services, Inc. (ASI). ASI shares
many of the same goals that ACDI
does, but will differ in the way it

funds its activities. ACDI has gen
erated most of its revenues from
grants and contracts with the U.S.
government’s Agency for Interna
tional Development (AID) or
other such “donor organizations.”
In contrast, ASI will work mainly
with private, for-profit companies
in the United States and overseas
to promote the transfer of advanc
ed agricultural technology and
techniques to developing nations
and emerging democracies.
ACDI dates its establishment to
July 12, 1963. That was when a
ACDI predecessor organization,
the International Cooperative De
velopment Association (ICDA),
was incorporated in Illinois. In
1968, ICDA merged with Farmers
Union International Assistance
Corporation. FUIAC, like ICDA,
had recruited many specialists for
its international development pro
jects from U.S. cooperative busi
nesses. The name chosen for the
new entity was Agricultural Co
operative Development Interna
tional.
A special characteristic of
ACDI is how it Works with U.S.
agricultural cooperatives and
farmer organizations. ACDI has
47 member co-ops that have pro
vided the organization with fund

A number of ACDI member
businesses have hosted foreign
visitors in the United States for
ACDI training and exchange pro
grams, and many of those interna
tional guests have stayed with in
dividual U.S. farm families. For
other ACDI projects, co-op em
ployees and members have served
outside the U.S. as volunteer train
ers and mentors for nascent co
operative business. For example,
over a three-year period ACDI
will recruit 230 U.S. volunteers
with expertise in farm credit and
agribusiness who will go to the
New Independent States of the
former Soviet, Union and help
those nations reform their farm

At ACDI’s June 7 meeting in
Washington, D.C., there will be a
