USDA’s plan to spend $1.4 billion to pay for a new export promotion program will provide the increase in market development funding that commodity groups have been trying to get through the farm bill, says Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.

The Department of Agriculture has awarded $100 million in commodity promotion funding as part of its $16 billion trade mitigation package.

The USDA announced today the winning bids for shares of $200 million in funds under the Agricultural Trade Promotion program.
