Funding posture

Mid-range ceiling, still NOFO-silent

The Assistance Listing advertises a mid-range award band ($75,000 to $250,000) for Value-Added Producer Grants, but the indexed Grants.gov book is empty for this CFDA. Dollar capacity exists on paper; competitive announcements for this number are not currently in the crawl.

Assistance Listing text · USDA

Grants to agricultural producers to develop strategies for marketing value-added agricultural products.

Small-business applicant corridor · CFDA 10.406

Value-Added Producer Grants prints a for-profit small-business applicant door on SAM.gov. Treat this CFDA as a business-facing listing unless a live NOFO narrows the set further.
