Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP)

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is implementing the COVID Food Assistance Program (CFAP) for producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a 5-percent-or-greater income loss due to COVID-19 and face additional significant marketing costs associated with Section 5(e) of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act for currently held inventories—whether caused by lower prices given significant declines in demand, surplus production, or by disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing of commodities. Non-specialty crops eligible for CFAP payments include barley, canola, corn, upland cotton, millet, oats, soybeans, sorghum, and durum and hard red spring wheat. Payments also will be available for specialty crops, cut flowers, orchard crops, dairy, cattle, lamb, wool, and hogs.

The latest form for Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) expires 2020-11-30 and is listed under ICR 202006-0560-001.
