March 26, 2024 — The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest federal disaster loans to crawfish businesses in the U.S. state of Louisiana that were affected by extreme drought after the state’s governor issued a disaster declaration earlier in March 2024.
“The SBA’s mission-driven team stands ready to help Louisiana small businesses affected by the drought and resulting crawfish shortage,” SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman said. “We’re committed to providing federal disaster loans swiftly and efficiently, with a customer-centric approach to help businesses and communities weather this environmental and economic challenge.”
