Supplier Credit Guarantee Program

The Supplier Credit Guarantee Program (SCGP) is unlike any other credit guarantee or insurance program in the world.  The program is designed to make it easier for exporters to sell U.S. food products overseas by insuring short-term, open account financing.  Under the security of the SCGP, U.S. exporters become more competitive by extending longer credit terms or increasing the amount of credit available to foreign buyers without increasing financial risk.  Foreign buyers benefit because they can increase their purchasing power and profit opportunities, and gain significant cash flow management advantages.
