The Marshall Plan focused on investing in agriculture and industry. For example, tens of thousands of American tractors were delivered across Europe from 1948 to 1952. Of the $13 billion in Marshall Plan funds, $3.4 billion was spent on raw materials and semi-manufactured products; $3.2 billion on food, feed and fertilizer; $1.9 billion on machines, vehicles and equipment; and $1.6 billion on fuel.
