The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that small manufacturers will be eligible for enhanced support through the SBA’s International Trade Loan (ITL) Program beginning May 1. The loans, which come with a 90% federal guarantee, will help manufacturers expand facilities, hire workers, and increase production – as part of the Trump Administration’s broader effort to rebuild America’s industrial dominance and strength. The SBA expanded ITL eligibility to include small businesses across the food supply chain, including those in the agriculture, production, and logistics industries.
