Description

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Office of Trade Programs (OTP) announced the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) 2019 Quality Samples Program (QSP) (2018-09869).   The QSP is designed to encourage the development and expansion of export markets for U.S. agricultural commodities by assisting U.S. entities in providing commodity samples to potential foreign importers to promote a better understanding and appreciation for the high quality of U.S. agricultural commodities.  QSP participants will be responsible for procuring (or arranging for the procurement of) the commodity samples, exporting the samples, and providing the on-site technical assistance necessary to facilitate successful use of the samples by importers. Participants that are funded under this announcement may seek reimbursement from FAS for the sample purchase price and for the cost of transporting the samples domestically to the port of export and then to the first foreign port or first point of entry. Transportation costs from the first foreign port or first point of entry to the final destination are not eligible for reimbursement.
