USDA Offers Export Assistance
Those wishing to apply for either USDA’s Quality Samples Program (QSP) or the Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops (TASC) program have until Feb. 12 to submit applications and a Dun & Bradstreet number to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). Applications accepted after that date will be considered if additional funding is available.
The QSP helps U.S. exporters provide samples of American commodities to foreign buyers who have not previously used them as a means to encourage new purchases.
The TASC program helps open, retain and expand markets for U.S. specialty crops. Resources are provided to address barriers, including phytosanitary or related technical restrictions that prohibit or threaten the export of U.S. specialty crops.
For additional information, contact FAS’ Program Policy Staff at (202) 720-4327, or by e-mail at ppsadmin@fas.usda.gov.
