The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service has announced that more than $8.4 million in funding is available to support U.S. agricultural exports through three programs.
Those programs are the Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops Program, Emerging Markets Program, and Quality Samples Program.
The funding aims to help farmers and producers overcome technical trade barriers, expand access to international markets, and meet rising global demand for U.S. agricultural goods.
Officials say the programs have a proven track record of delivering measurable export growth.
“These programs drive growth for U.S. agricultural exports, giving American farmers and ranchers the tools they need to break through unnecessary trade barriers and explore new markets,” said USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg.
The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen rural economies and improve the U.S. agricultural trade balance by increasing global competitiveness.
