Twenty-three Minnesota agricultural producers and processors have been awarded funding from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s (MDA) Value Added Grant program. The Value Added Grant program supports projects that will increase the sales of Minnesota agricultural products through added processing, marketing or manufacturing. The grant is part of the MDA’s Agricultural Growth, Research, and Innovation (AGRI) Program, which administers grant funding to farmers, agribusinesses, schools, and more throughout the state of Minnesota. By selling value-added products, farmers, producers, and processors can grow their businesses and create new jobs. The MDA's Value Added Grant Program is entering its fifth year of supporting new and established for-profit businesses.
