Grants Available To Encourage Promotion Of Ag Products

USDA is currently accepting applications for the America First Trade Promotion Program.

“The $285 million program that essentially doubles our investment in those trade promotion programs that help sell our products,” said Agriculture Department Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg.  He added AFTPP complements existing farm and food export promotion programs.

"Many of our cooperators around the country that represent all of our different commodity groups," Lindberg said.  "Those folks get dollars from USDA to market their products overseas, participate in trade missions, organize their own trade missions, really go about the business of selling American agriculture.”

Applications are due January 23.  Click Here to learn more about the application process, or apply for the America First Trade Promotion Program.
