Source: USDA, 5/25/22 Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin accepting
applications for the Commodity Container Assistance Program (CCAP) which currently includes a partnership with the
Port of Oakland in California and the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA), which
is a marine cargo operating partnership between the Port of Seattle and the
Port of Tacoma in Washington State. Ongoing market disruptions have created
logistical challenges associated with the availability and flow of shipping
containers to transport agricultural commodities, which has prevented or
delayed American-grown agricultural commodities from reaching their markets.
