Additional funding will help Potatoes USA continue its work for the industry in the coming year.
Potatoes USA received $4.9 million in USDA Market Access Program (MAP) funding to be used for ongoing export development programs in Asia and Latin America in the coming fiscal year, starting July 1.
Potatoes USA was also awarded $3.6 million in Agricultural Trade Promotion (ATP) funding. The ATP program was set up to mitigate the negative impacts on U.S. agriculture from ongoing trade wars. The funding will be used during the next two years to develop new markets for U.S. potato exports and to bolster competitiveness in established markets.
