Value Added Agriculture Production Facility Incentive Program

The Value Added Agriculture Production Facility Incentive Program provides grant funding to support value-added agriculture production facilities that introduce new or enhanced agricultural products, diversify agricultural markets, and create substantial economic impact in North Dakota. It is a specific application track under the Agriculture Diversification and Development Fund (ADD), administered by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.

Value-added agriculture businesses registered with the North Dakota Secretary of State's office that meet all requirements in Section B of the application. Priority consideration is given to projects most consistent with the mission of the Agriculture Diversification and Development Fund Committee, as established in North Dakota Century Code 4.1-01.1.

Grant funding under the ADD Fund (grants limited to $500,000; the Committee reserves the right to increase or decrease requested funding). Application deadlines follow the ADD Fund quarterly schedule: October 1, January 1, April 1, and July 1.

Application and guideline documents are available on the NDDA website. Grant inquiries go to the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.
