This program will provide funds to states and territories to support entities engaged in the middle of the supply chain activities with the goal of expanding capacity for “non-meat and poultry” sectors. States will work in partnership with USDA to make competitive subawards to support infrastructure in the middle-of-the-supply-chain for domestic food and farm businesses and other eligible entities. States may use a limited portion of funds to develop and/or strengthen the State’s supply chain coordination and targeted market development services for local and regional produced product. States will submit State Plans to develop and administer coordinated initiatives to build resilience across the middle-of-the-food-supply-chain in their state. Funds will support expanded capacity for the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, and distribution of locally and regionally produced food products, including specialty crops, dairy, grains for human consumption, aquaculture, and other food products, excluding meat and poultry.

• In May 2023, USDA announced the availability of up to $420 million through RFSI to strengthen local and regional food systems. Through this program, AMS has entered into non-competitive cooperative agreements with state agencies, commissions, or departments responsible for agriculture, commercial food processing, seafood, or food system and distribution activities or commerce activities in states or U.S. territories. All participating states and territories will offer competitive Infrastructure Grant requests for subaward applications, as specified by USDA’s program requirements. In 2024, 48 states submitted their subaward packages to AMS for review for RFSI program alignment and NEPA approval. Fourteen states have completed the subaward review and approval process and are moving forward with awards. The remaining states are working through the review process. Examples from approved state subaward activities include:
