The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) links U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security.
The grant program by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service under the Market Access Program focuses on assisting U.S. agricultural entities in expanding their exports and achieving market diversification. It supports nonprofit U.S. agricultural trade organizations, nonprofit state regional trade groups, U.S. agricultural cooperatives, and state agencies. The program is designed to encourage the development, maintenance, and expansion of commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural commodities and products. Applicants seeking funding under this program must be registered in the U.S. Government System for Award Management before submitting their application.
