VAPG helps agricultural producers enter value-added markets by funding planning activities and working capital for processing, marketing, and distributing value-added agricultural products such as jams, cheeses, and specialty meats. Grants give priority to beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged producers, and mid-tier value chains.
