About this program
The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency administered the Commodity Container Assistance Program (CFDA 10.966) to provide direct payments for shipping containers used to export U.S. agricultural products from the Port of Oakland and designated Northwest Seaport Alliance ports, with the final application deadline of January 31, 2023 now closed and no new applications being accepted.
The program provided direct payments to eligible owners or designated marketing agents of domestically grown or produced agricultural products to offset increased logistics costs associated with containerized agricultural exports. Payments were structured by container type: $200 per dry container, $400 per refrigerated (reefer) container, and $125 per empty container picked up from Howard Terminal at the Port of Oakland. Applicants self-certified the number of containers picked up and dropped off monthly without requiring documentation at application time, though they agreed to maintain verifiable records upon request.
Assistance was available from March 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. FSA administered the program on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation under the general supervision of the FSA Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs, who approved all payments. The Farm Service Agency published program eligibility requirements, commodity determinations, and enrollment periods in Federal Register Notices of Funding Availability.
Eligible applicants were individual or entity owners of domestically grown or produced agricultural products or their designated marketing agents, as well as authorized individuals designated by Power of Attorney. The program operated on a closed intake model; FSA has indicated that records may be maintained for up to three years following the year the program closed.
No current grant opportunities exist under this program. The CCAP concluded its active assistance period and ceased accepting applications as of January 31, 2023.
