The USDA has announced that producers of liquid and frozen egg products will be eligible for compensation under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) for losses sustained as a result of the decline in the food service sector following the imposition of CODID-19 restrictions.
CFAP payments for liquid and frozen eggs will be equal to the sum of the following two calculations:
- First-quarter production multiplied by the CARES Act payment rate of 5 cents/lb.
- First-quarter production multiplied by the CCC payment rate of 2 cents/lb.
First-quarter production is defined as production during January, February and March 2020.
Applications for reimbursement have been extended to September 11th by the USDA Farm Service Agency. For details access <farmers.gov/cfap>
