SACRAMENTO, August 18, 2022 - The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is accepting proposals for the 2023 Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) and the 2023 SCBGP Technical Review Committee (TRC).

2023 SPECIALTY CROP BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Each year, CDFA conducts a two-phase competitive solicitation process to award funds to projects that enhance the competitiveness of California specialty crops.
Grant awards will range from $100,000 to $500,000 per project and projects may last for up to two years and eight months. Non-profit and for-profit organizations; local, state, federal, and Tribal government entities; and public and private colleges and universities are eligible to apply. (Projects submitted to the Additional Assistance for Historically Underrepresented Organizations Program, only available to non-profits and tribal governments, will range from $100,000 to $250,000.) Specialty crops include fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops (including floriculture).
