USAEDC Members Welcome
USDA’s AFTPP Award Announcements
On April 16, 2026, USDA announced the awardees for the new America First Trade Promotion Program (AFTPP)—and USAEDC members were quick to share what the news means for their organizations and the broader U.S. agricultural export community.
In the statements and posts linked below, USAEDC members express enthusiasm and appreciation for the new program and for USDA’s continued commitment to investing in export promotion. Members highlight how AFTPP fits naturally alongside the market development work they already know well, and they point to the opportunity this new funding creates as they look ahead to expanding demand for U.S. food and agricultural products around the world.
