USDA OFFERS EEP BARLEY MALT TO COLOMBIA The U.S. Agriculture Department announced Colombia has been made eligible for sales of up to 15,000 tonnes of barley malt under the department's export enhancement program, EEP. As with the previous 64 EEP initiatives, sales of U.S. barley malt would be made to buyers in Colombia at competitive world prices, USDA said. The export sales would be subsidized with commodities from the inventory of the Commodity Credit Corp and enable U.S. exporters to compete at commercial prices in the Colombian market, USDA said.
