The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's (USDA) push for foreign market development in recent years has placed a greater emphasis on promotion programs, some of which include limited amounts for advertising. While the amount of government contribution varies from contract to contract, usually the subsidy is matched by a cooperator and by a third party, usually a foreign interest. The promotion programs now operate in over 80 nations, conducted by 43 nonprofit agricultural trade organizations on a long-term basis. Smaller scale and shorter term projects are also being conducted mostly by farm-owned cooperators."
