Dept. of Agriculture Seeks Proposals
Pennsylvania Ag Connection - 06/05/2023
Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding invites proposals for projects designed to boost domestic sales and exports of Pennsylvania agricultural products. The department plans to award up to $303,000 in matching funds to PA nonprofits to reimburse up to 50% of costs for promotional and educational projects intended to increase consumer awareness and sales or expand export markets. The amount available for grants will ultimately depend on the final 2023-24 budget.
“Pennsylvania food, fiber, and hardwood products are second to none,” Secretary Redding said. “The Shapiro Administration is seeking innovative marketers and educators who can help tell Pennsylvania Agriculture’s story to consumers at home and around the world. These grants help Pennsylvania businesses connect with consumers, support the more than 593,000 Pennsylvanians whose jobs depend on them, and continue to feed our families and our economy.”
Grants will be awarded to PA nonprofit agricultural promotion and marketing organizations for projects ranging from festivals and tourism events, to regional buy-local campaigns and statewide promotions of PA products.
Priority consideration will be given to projects that:
promote PA Preferred® hardwoods, dairy products, fruit and vegetables;
promote agritourism, Farmers Market Nutrition Programs and farm markets;
expand or create export markets;
