closed

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agricultural Service, Trade and Regulatory Capacity Building, announces this funding opportunity to support Assisting Specialty Crop Exports by issuing a new award. This opportunity is available to all eligible applicants and is intended to support U.S. olive oil producers’ access to current and prospective foreign markets. Principally, this agreement will support U.S. olive oil producers by funding the data collection and testing costs necessary for U.S. olive oil producers to be responsive to the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Fats and Oils (CCFO)’s request for data to update the Codex Olive Oil standard on quality parameters, pyropheophytin (PPP) and 1,2-diglycerides (DAGs).
