USMEF Receives Funds to Promote U.S. Red Meat in Foreign Markets

USDA has allocated $234.5 million to 70 U.S. trade organizations to help promote U.S. food and agricultural products overseas. Among them is a total of almost $17.5 million to the U.S. Meat Export Federation.

The funding was allocated under the Market Access Program (MAP) and the Foreign Market Development (FMD) Cooperator Program, both administered by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service. Listings of FY 2010 MAP and FMD program allocations are available at www.usda.gov/wps/portal/.
