California Agricultural Export Council, Inc.

California Agricultural Export Council, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Madera, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since February 2018, with registration valid through January 2026. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization focuses on agricultural export development and market expansion activities, specifically working to promote U.S. agricultural commodities and products in international markets. While limited information is available about the organization's comprehensive background, its primary mission appears to be supporting and facilitating the export of California and U.S. agricultural goods through strategic market development initiatives.

The organization has secured multiple federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA FAS), specifically through the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (CFDA 10.618). These cooperative agreements, totaling $1,500,000, are designed to foster expanded exports and market diversification for U.S. agricultural commodities. The grants, awarded in June 2024, December 2024, and February 2025, support market development activities with project periods extending through September 2030. The specific goals of these grants include developing, maintaining, and expanding diverse commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural products. While the precise details of sub-partners or specific commodity focus are not explicitly stated, the grants indicate a broad mandate to enhance international market access and opportunities for U.S. agricultural exports, with a particular emphasis on strategic market development and expansion strategies.
