• Description:
  The Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) is designed to provide financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who faced price declines and additional marketing costs due to COVID-19. The CFAP was first announced in May 2020 but, at that time, crawfish production was not identified as an eligible commodity. However, USDA announced on August 11 that certain aquaculture commodities, including crawfish, grown and harvested from controlled environments, including raceways, ponds, tanks, and recirculating systems, are eligible for CFAP. Farm raised crawfish meet this requirement.
