Original basic and applied research quantifying the direct economic impact of USDA's CADI trade-barrier-removal portfolio for American agricultural exporters across Eastern Europe (non-EU), the South Caucasus and Central Asia, including county-level US impact estimates and tracking progress against named per-country trade targets.
