More information about VAPG:
Value-Added Producer Grants may be used to develop new products and create additional uses for existing ones within the United States. Priority for these grants is given to veterans, members of socially disadvantaged groups, beginning farmers and ranchers, and operators of small- and medium-sized family farms and ranches. Additional priority is given to applicants who seek funding for projects that will create or increase marketing opportunities for these types of operators.
