TRADE PROGRAMS FAS works to improve foreign market access, FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL SERVICE (FAS) http://www.fas.usda.gov Lead international agency in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)— Represents a network of USDA agencies and private companies through its partnership with U.S. Cooperator Groups FAS OVERSEAS ATTACHES,COUNSELORS, AND TRADE OFFICES http://www.fas.usda.gov/ofso/overseas_post_directory/ovs_directory_search.asp Point of contact for overseas banks, importers, and governments in overseas markets desiring information about GSM-102 or other programs that help with importation of U.S. agricultural products into their countries TRADE ASSOCIATE REPRESENTATIVES http://www.fas.usda.gov/pcd/PartnersSearch.aspx By products such as U.S. Wheat Or regional such as SUSTA U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT PARTNER UNDER THE NATIONAL EXPORT INITIATIVE (NEI) U.S. Export Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, U.S. Small Business Administration/Office of International Trade, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Agency for International Development’s Development Credit Authority FAS works to improve foreign market access, build new markets and improve the competitive position of U.S. agriculture in the global marketplace

GSM-102 CREDIT GUARANTEE PROGRAM Facilitates export financing of U.S. agricultural products by guaranteeing repayment to U.S. banks (or exporters) that extend credit terms to USDA approved banks in the Africa Middle East (AME) region. http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/foreignbanks.html Buyers of U.S. agricultural products in the AME region seek financing opportunities under GSM-102 when banks in the AME region are reluctant to lend Importers can seek terms through USDA approved banks in the AME region, even when the shipment destination country is not the same as the location of the bank opening the L/C. Not all countries in the AME region are eligible to have banks approved. http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/countryrisk.html

BANKS: CREDIT TERMS UNDER GSM-102 USDA approved banks in the AME must open an L/C in favor of the exporter of the U.S. agricultural product The U.S. bank may or may not confirm the L/C as confirmation is not required under the program U.S. bank will negotiate credit terms with the foreign bank in the AME region according to parameters of the GSM-102 program Tenor extended to the USDA approved bank in Africa will be limited according to the risk grade of the country where the bank resides http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/countryrisk.html The cost of the program is the fee paid by the exporter to USDA http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/gsm102fees.html

SUCCESS: ALL GSM-102 PARTICIPANTS BENEFIT May help importer obtain attractive loan terms with the USDA approved foreign bank USDA approved foreign bank receives a dollar trade credit on attractive terms from the GSM-102 guarantee holder (U.S. bank typically) Reduces risk to the U.S. bank (or exporter) Helps exporter of U.S. agricultural products enter new growth markets in the AME region

IMPORTERS: STEPS TO PARTICIPATE Learn about the details of participating in GSM-102 through the USDA representative that covers your country Find an exporter of the U.S. desired agricultural commodity Enter into a firm sales contract with the exporter Negotiate loan terms under GSM-102 with a USDA approved bank who is willing to open an L/C Ask the exporter to register the export sale contract under the GSM-102 program The exporter will provide a copy of the sales contract to USDA if required The U.S. exporter must pay the GSM-102 fee before shipment of your goods and before a GSM-102 guarantee is issued Note: As GSM-102 does not cover the risk of the AME bank opening the L/C, the bank is likely to review the importer’s company financials and cash flow to cover any risk the bank may assume—

AME BANK PARTICIPATION Importer of U.S. goods will seek loan terms from the AME bank As the terms extended under GSM-102 to the AME bank occur because the importer is buying U.S. agricultural products The AME bank benefitting from the trade credit, will likely be encouraged to extend loan terms to the importer Your bank may receive up to two years (varies by location of the bank in country) in repayment terms to the U.S. bank The loan you extend to the importer is not guaranteed under GSM-102, and USDA is not involved in the terms between the foreign bank and the importer Read about details of the GSM-102 program http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/reg.asp Contact Credit Program Division Representative for Details - Michele.Kouadio@fas.usda.gov Discuss possible terms that could be negotiated with your U.S. correspondent banks under GSM-102 Look at the guidelines to apply for review and approval under the GSM-102 http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/foreignbankreq.html Your bank must have a location in an AME bank eligible country
