Improvements Needed in Market Promotion Program Gao ID: T-GGD-93-17 March 25, 1993

The Market Promotion Program was created to encourage exports of U.S. agricultural products, particularly high-value products, such as fruits, nuts, and processed foods, as well as products that have been harmed by unfair foreign trade practices. From fiscal years 1986 through 1993, more than $1.25 billion was allocated for the program. This testimony addresses the historical development of the program and its management and operations. GAO makes several suggestions for improving the program.
