Abstract

The Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) program provides grants to help farmers and ranchers add greater value for agricultural commodities, such as through additional processing or marketing of new products. Between 2001 and 2015, the program provided a total of 2,345 grants to farmers and ranchers—a total value of $318 million, or about $136,000 per grant on average.
