Management Issues Remain Unresolved in the Market Promotion Program Gao ID: T-GGD-92-25 March 25, 1992

Established in the 1930s, the Market Promotion Program seeks to encourage the development, maintenance, and expansion of U.S. agricultural exports. While open to a wide variety of exporters, the program gives priority to firms harmed by unfair trade practices. This testimony addresses (1) the program's goals; (2) whether program regulations have been sufficient to ensure sound fiscal management; and (3) whether the U.S. Department of Agriculture has implemented recommendations made in GAO's June 1990 report (GAO/NSIAD-90-225) on the Targeted Export Assistance Program, the predecessor to the Market Promotion Program.
