Soy Groups Receive Additional RAP Funding

The American Soybean Association, ASA’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health Program, and the U.S. Soybean Export Council received a second round of funding from the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program. The RAPP 2 Award from the U.S. Ag Department’s Foreign Agricultural Service will be invested in international market diversification and growth of U.S. soybean exports to help meet increasing protein demand and support nutrition security in global markets. “The American Soybean Association and our allied groups are exceptionally pleased to be included in the second round of RAPP grants, funding that will continue to open doors for U.S. agriculture exports in emerging markets,” says Caleb Ragland, ASA President and Kentucky farmer. “Soy is proud to be our country’s number one export but that doesn’t mean we can sit idle: We pride ourselves in finding innovative, collaborative ways to tap and expand markets around the world for our high-protein, high-quality soybeans.”
