About the company
The USA Rice Federation, a nonprofit agricultural trade organization based in Arlington, Virginia, serves as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on agricultural export market development and climate-smart farming practices, competing exclusively in the grant space rather than federal contracts.
The federation holds five federal grants, all from the Department of Agriculture, totaling $111 million in obligated dollars. Three awards flow through the Foreign Agricultural Service Food for Education program under the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (CFDA 10.618), a cooperative-agreement vehicle that reimburses nonprofit U.S. agricultural trade organizations for market development efforts. The most recent grant, a $5 million Cooperative Agreement awarded on April 23, 2026, runs through September 30, 2028, and obligates the federation to develop, maintain, and expand commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural commodities. An earlier Food for Education Cooperative Agreement granted on December 23, 2024, carries a completion date of September 30, 2030, and focuses on approved market development activities to foster expanded exports and market diversification across U.S. agricultural commodities. A third Food for Education grant awarded June 1, 2024, carries similar export-expansion language. Beyond export promotion, the federation received a Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office on July 15, 2023, running through July 14, 2029, to expand markets for climate-smart rice in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, and Texas and to support farmer implementation and monitoring of climate-smart agricultural practices. The federation also holds a grant from the Foreign Agricultural Service Cochran Fellowship Program. The federation operates entirely as a prime recipient across all five awards; no sub-award relationships appear in the source.
Activity is sporadic — one award in 2020, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only one award (representing a small portion of the federation's $111 million portfolio) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
