EXPORT ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME

   A US programme that allows exporters to receive a subsidy to sell US products to foreign customers at world market prices. The US Department of Agriculture subsidises the difference between the world price and the higher domestic price - which exporters have to pay for the product - in the form of commodities from the Commodity Credit Corporation inventory or cash.
