Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers
AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) today
accepted and began a review of a petition for trade adjustment
assistance filed under the FY 2011 Program by 100% Puerto Rico Coffee
Export Board, Inc. on behalf of coffee producers in Puerto Rico. The
Administrator will determine within 40 days whether increasing imports
of coffee contributed importantly to a greater than 15-percent decrease
in the average annual price, production quantity, or production value
of coffee compared to the average of the 3 preceding marketing years.
If the determination is affirmative, producers who produce and market
coffee in Puerto Rico will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service
Agency for free technical assistance and cash benefits.
