{{Short description|US Department of Agriculture programs}}
The '''Value-added Producer Grants''' program was authorized by the [[Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000]] and amended by the [[2002 farm bill]] (P.L.107-171, Sec. 6401). The farm bill authorizes $40 million per year in grants for the development and marketing of value-added agricultural products, including organic agricultural production. Eligible applicants are independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures.
