Potatoes USA Awarded USD 6.5 Million in RAPP Funding

In October 2023, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack launched the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP) to build demand for American food and farm exports in high-potential markets around the world.

To capitalize on this new grant funding opportunity, Potatoes USA met with potato industry leaders and global partners to apply for a variety of activities to support the goal of diversifying market development opportunities for U.S. potatoes.

Last month, Secretary Vilsack announced USD 6.5 million of RAPP’s initial funding round would be allocated to Potatoes USA to pursue those outlined activities and expand export opportunities for U.S. potatoes.
