The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced an expanded partnership with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to increase domestic agricultural production and exports, while reducing the agricultural trade deficit.
Alongside this partnership, USDA is formally launching the Financial Assurance to Revitalize Markets, or FARM, Initiative, a comprehensive effort to strengthen and modernize its export credit guarantee program in support of U.S. agricultural competitiveness.
The FARM Initiative serves as the umbrella for a series of program improvements and activities designed to enhance access to emerging markets, increase certainty for exporters and lenders, and ensure that U.S. agriculture remains a reliable and resilient partner in global trade.
Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke J. Lindberg announced both the FARM Initiative and the USDA-EXIM partnership during the EXIM 2026 Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
