USDA on Monday (Aug. 5, 2024) published a funding notice for the second tranche of the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP) which utilized Commodity Credit Corporation funds to diversify export markets for U.S. agricultural products. The second round matches the $300 million allocated to various organizations in the initial investment announced earlier this year.
