Value-Added Producer Grants
(VAPG)
Welcome to the Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPG) home page.
Grants may be used for planning activities and for working capital for marketing value-added agricultural products and for farm-based renewable energy. Eligible applicants are independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures.
Grant awards were announced on September 4, 2008. The press release and list of recipients can be found at: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rd/newsroom/news.htm.
For more information about the program, contact your State Rural Development Office to obtain additional information and assistance. A contact person, address, phone number, and e-mail address for each State Office is posted on this website.
