This paper evaluates the economic returns of supporting agrifood micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in 90 low- and middle-income countries. Six types of business support interventions were analyzed, including mentoring for female managers, business development services, and financial grants. Most interventions demonstrated positive benefit-cost ratios, indicating economic viability. Targeted support for MSMEs can drive improvements in food security, nutrition, and employment in developing economies.
