USDA, Agricultural Marketing Service

Specialty Crop Multi-State Program

https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=349977

Applications Due: December 22, 2023

Budgets are range from $250 K - $1 million total over a three year project
period.

The SCMP supports collaborative multi-state partnerships to enhance the
competitiveness of specialty crops through competitively funded projects. A
multi-state partnership is a project that implements activities with
measurable outcomes that benefit specialty crops growers from two or more
U.S. States and/or Territories. The focus is to address regional or
national level specialty crop issues, including, but not limited to, food
safety, plant pests and disease, research, crop-specific projects
addressing common issues, and marketing and promotion. Projects must
enhance the competitiveness of U.S. or U.S. territory-grown specialty crops
in either domestic or foreign markets.

Multi-state partners must develop projects that bring together teams for
solutions to practical problems that cross State boundaries and address the
needs of specialty crop growers in the areas described below. Projects
should lead to measurable benefits for specialty crop growers, encourage
partnerships among specialty crop organizations, and reduce duplication of
effort among participating organizations. An SCMP project must:

(1) Address one or more regional or national (multiple-State) issues
described below;

(2) Define the geographic target area of impact of the project such as the
specific states or foreign markets;

(3) Define the specific specialty crop(s) that are the focus of the
project; and

(4) Involves at least two partners located in different states.

Project Area Types include:

   1. Food Safety
   2. Plant Pests and Disease
   3. Research
   4. Crop-Specific Projects Addressing Common Issues
   5. Marketing and Promotion

A webinar will be held on September 19th 11 am PT (2 pm ET). For details
