Agricultural Trade Changes Made to Market Access Program, but Questions Remain on Economic Impact

Abstract

This report responds to your request that we examine the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) implementation of legislative reforms to the Market Access Program (MAP) and their impact on program participation. Since 1986, MAP has provided funds to nonprofit organizations and commercial firms to help support their promotions of U.S. agricultural products in overseas markets. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), an agency of USDA, administers this program and estimates that there are substantial economic benefits associated with MAP.
