Regional Agricultural Promotion Program — CFDA 10.618

Regional agricultural-promotion obligations at $597.0M

USAspending.gov records $597,000,000 in obligations under CFDA 10.618. One hundred thirty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4.59 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical market-promotion invoice and not a cost per export shipment. The even $597,000,000 figure is the indexed obligation stock as stored; it is still not an outlay.

The assistance-listing title is REGIONAL AGRICULTURAL PROMOTION PROGRAM. CFDA 10.618 is the identifier. Other USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, MAP, or GSM listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $597.0M. Combining those codes would invent a combined export-promotion total this packet does not contain.

72 recipients and 130 award rows

Seventy-two recipients share 130 awards, or about 1.8 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $597,000,000 evenly would assign about $8.29 million per recipient. That density is a cooperator-and-association pattern: trade groups and other named organizations carrying one or two assistance rows. The packet does not list the 72. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of exporters or farms.

Twenty-two states in the geographic count is a partial map. Promotion dollars follow cooperator geography as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not an export census

Among USDA trade listings, 10.618 is a mid-row promotion file: 130 awards against 72 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of trade campaigns” and a worse proxy for tons shipped. Recipients (72) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (130) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report export value, missions, or commodity tons. Citing 130 as deals closed would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus promotion outlays

The $597.0M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Regional Agricultural Promotion Program awards — are not in the packet. A cooperative file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 10.618 to size this Regional Agricultural Promotion Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a MAP, GSM-102, or farm-bill commodity dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 10.618.

What the 10.618 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an export ledger, not a cooperator directory, and not a commodity-ton log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $597,000,000. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 130 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 22 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as a national export total. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to cooperators.

Regional Agricultural Promotion’s 22-state map and 72-recipient headcount together describe a trade-cooperator book, not a farm-payment roster. A researcher comparing 10.618 with MAP or GSM codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $597.0M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 10.618 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.618 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other USDA listings. For 10.618 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.618’s 130 awards spread $597,000,000 across 72 recipients and 22 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.8 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Export value, missions, and commodity tons live in other FAS series. Those rows are outside $597,000,000 unless they share CFDA 10.618. Quote 130 as assistance records, 72 as organizational payees, and 22 as the geographic count.
