# Farm Bill Primer: Trade and Export Promotion Programs - EveryCRSReport.com

> A CRS primer explains that the 2014 Farm Bill authorizes USDA export promotion programs, including MAP, FMDP, EMP, QSP and TASC, which provide matching funds for market development. It notes U.S. agricultural trade surplus declined to $17 billion in 2016 from its 2014 peak of $43 billion.

## Why it matters

Export promotion funding supports foreign demand for U.S. feed grains and meals; a shrinking trade surplus signals softer export demand that can weigh on prices, though the primer itself does not announce any change.
