STAKEHOLDER ANNOUNCEMENT

USDA Makes $31 Million in Grants Available to Help Farmers and Ranchers Add More Value to Their Products to Access New and Better Markets

May 1, 2023

USDA is making $31 million in grants available to help farmers and ranchers access new and better markets by adding more value to their products.

Value-Added Producer Grants help agricultural producers generate new products, create marketing opportunities and increase their incomes through value-added activities.

Priority points will be provided for projects that advance key priorities under the Biden-Harris Administration to help rural communities and people address climate change and environmental justice, advance racial justice, place-based equity, and opportunity, and create more and better market opportunities.

Eligible applicants include independent producers, agricultural producer groups, farmer or rancher cooperatives, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures.
