Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-102)
The GSM-102 program provides credit guarantees to encourage financing of commercial exports of U.S. agricultural products. By reducing financial risk to lenders, credit guarantees encourage exports to buyers in countries — mainly developing countries — that have sufficient financial strength to have foreign exchange available for scheduled payments.
The program is available to exporters of:
- high-value, consumer-oriented, processed products such as frozen foods, fresh produce, meats, condiments, wine and beer;
- intermediate products such as hides, flour and paper products; and
- bulk products such as grains, oilseeds and rice.
