The Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP) is a cost-share grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service. The program is designed to reimburse eligible nonprofit U.S. agricultural trade organizations, state regional trade groups, U.S. agricultural cooperatives, and state agencies for approved market development activities. The goal is to foster expanded exports and market diversification for U.S. agricultural commodities and products. Applicants will be evaluated on their strategic planning, program management, and implementation capabilities. The application deadline is October 4, 2024.
Up to $300 million in funding is available through this program, including $25 million dedicated to activities in the Africa region. Grant awards will generally be provided for a 5-year period of performance starting January 1, 2025. Eligible applicants must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and submit their proposals through the Unified Export Strategy (UES) system.
