Export Enhancement Program

The EEP, one of four export subsidy programs operated by the Department of
Agriculture, is intended to enhance U.S. trade policy strategies and
objectives and to expand U.S. agricultural exports. Under the EEP, the
Agriculture Department's Commodity Credit Corporation provides bonuses to
U.S. exporters to enable them to be price competitive and thereby sell U.S.
agricultural products in targeted overseas markets in which competitor
countries are making subsidized sales. EEP-eligible commodities have
included: wheat, wheat flour, rice, frozen poultry, barley, barley malt,
table eggs, feed grains and vegetable oil.
