[Rimarinefisheries] USDA Seafood Trade Relief Program

[RI Marine Fisheries]

SEAFOOD TRADE RELIEF PROGRAM

USDA is helping U.S. fishermen who have been impacted by retaliatory tariffs from foreign governments through the Seafood Trade Relief Program (STRP). STRP is part of a relief strategy to support American producers while the Administration continues to work on free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals to open more markets to help American farmers and fishermen compete globally. STRP is funded by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and administered by the Farm Service Agency. FSA is accepting applications for STRP from September 14, 2020 to December 14, 2020.

The program provides direct support to U.S. commercial fishermen who have a valid federal or state license or permit to catch seafood who bring their catch to shore and sell or transfer them to another party. That other party must be a legally permitted or licensed seafood dealer. Alternatively, the catch can be processed at sea and sold by the same legally permitted entity that harvested or processed the seafood. Products grown in a controlled environment are not eligible for the program except for geoducks and salmon.

For more eligibility requirements and information on how to apply, please see the attached flyer.
