Promotion at a glance
Promotion campaigns about EU farm products are designed to open up new market opportunities for EU farmers and the wider food industry, as well as helping them build their existing business.
There are two kinds of promotion action:
- those run by European trade or inter-trade associations, producer organisations or associations of producer organisations, agri-food bodies and co-financed by the EU;
- those run directly by the EU itself, such as diplomatic offensives by the Commissioner in non-EU countries to develop agri-food trade, or participation in fairs and communication campaigns.
Promotion policy rules set out how EU funding can be used for information and promotion initiatives in both EU countries and countries outside the EU.

Funding for promotion campaigns
Promotion campaigns in practice
The Commission defines the strategic priorities for promoting EU farm products and the funding criteria in an annual work programme outlining products and possible markets.
The European Research Executive Agency (REA) puts this strategic policy into practice on behalf of the Commission.
It does this by:
- publishing calls for proposals and evaluating proposals;
- awarding grants and managing grant agreements for so-called multi programmes (that involve at least two organisations from at least two EU countries or one or more EU organisations);
- organising events and communication campaigns both inside and outside the EU.
The Commission adopts a decision to select simple programmes based on the ranking of the proposals established by REA.
Simple programmes involve one or more organisations from the same EU country. They are managed by national administrations.
