Grant Description

The project will benefit individual cooperators and agricultural companies and further U.S. government policy objectives.

Industries, including the Wisconsin Ginseng industry and the California pistachio industry have lost their markets to counterfeit products.

In addition to ongoing market revenues, continued access problems will potentially close U.S. industry out of the market.

This proposal supports a service to cooperators and companies in the agricultural industry and provides expanded market intelligence that will assist FAS in formulating trade policy objectives.
