Organic Market Development Grant (OMDG) Program

Program Information

Popular name

OMDG

Program Number

10.188

Program objective

The Organic Market Development Grant (OMDG) program will support the development of new and expanded organic markets by providing additional resources and certainty for businesses transitioning to organic or initiating new organic production and processing capacity. By investing in certified organic, expanding capacity for aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, distribution, or consumer markets, the anticipated increase in market activity will both address demand for domestically produced agricultural products and the critical need for additional market paths identified by domestic organic producers.
