Ensuring fair and transparent markets free from deceptive and fraudulent practices, combined with recognized and reliable descriptors of crop quality and value, promote economic health and prosperity in American agriculture. U.S. farmers produce a wide variety of agricultural products and the vast American infrastructure permits these products to be processed and distributed throughout the United States and international markets effectively and efficiently. The markets serviced by GIPSA represent a total economic value of approximately $170 billion annually with exports contributing over $28.7 billion to the U.S. economy.
GIPSA's Strategic Plan outlines the goals, objectives, and performance measures and strategies that set the strategic direction of the Agency's work and ensure we fulfill our mission of facilitating the marketing of U.S. livestock, poultry, meat, cereals, oilseeds, and related agricultural products, and promoting fair and competitive trading practices for the overall benefit of consumers and American agriculture.
