About The Grant
The Quality Samples Program, announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, aims to support the export of U.S. agricultural commodities by providing funding for projects that offer commodity samples to potential foreign importers. This initiative encourages a deeper understanding and appreciation of the high quality of U.S. agricultural goods, ultimately enhancing their marketability abroad.
This grant is available to both private and government entities in the U.S., including non-profit trade associations, universities, agricultural cooperatives, and various levels of government agencies. The goal is to foster new markets for U.S. products and to promote innovative uses for these commodities, while educating foreign audiences about the unique qualities of these goods.
