This USDA Emerging Markets Program (EMP) grant is for U.S. entities seeking to develop, maintain, or expand exports of U.S. agricultural commodities and products into emerging markets. The program provides funding to improve food and rural business systems within these markets, helping to reduce potential trade barriers. While primarily supporting private sector export market development efforts, this grant also extends its resources to assist public organizations in achieving similar objectives. This initiative aims to foster robust trade relationships and enhance the presence of U.S. agriculture globally, by addressing systemic challenges and creating favorable export conditions.
