Glickman Announces
Additional $1 Million
To Promote U.S. Lamb
WASHINGTON, D.C.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Dan
Glickman recently announced
that USDA will begin accepting
proposals to fund up to $1 mil
lion in competitive marketing
and promotion projects under
the market promotion funding
of the Lamb Meat Adjustment
Assistance Measures Program.
On Nov. 15, Glickman an
nounced the initial awards of 15
cooperative agreements totaling
nearly $3.85 million under this
program. The additional funds
were made available to provide
a greater opportunity for the
lamb industry to make domestic
lamb meat more competitive
with imported meat.
New or existing programs
that focus on marketing, promo
tion, merchandising, market
feasibility analysis, market iden
tification, or value enhancement
will be considered for funding.
“These additional marketing
and promotion efforts are an in
tegral part of the assistance

measures developed at the re
quest of the President to help the
U.S. lamb industry achieve long
term, sustained competitive
ness,” said Glickman.
In February 1999, the U.S. In
ternational Trade Commission
ruled 6-0 that a surge of low
priced imported lamb meat was
causing the threat of injury to
U.S. lamb producers. In July
1999, President Clinton an
nounced a three-year assistance
package for domestic producers.
The package made $5O mil
lion available during the first
year and makes an additional
$5O million available during the
second and third years for pro
duction improvements, market
promotion, animal health and
domestic purchases.
Funding for the promotion
projects will be awarded prior to
Feb. 1, 2001, with projects to be
completed by Sept. 30,2002. Ad
