Summary
This annual funding opportunity supports projects that strengthen the competitiveness of specialty crops in North Carolina. Eligible projects may involve fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, herbs and spices, medicinal plants, nursery crops, floriculture, and other qualifying horticultural products. Funding may support research, education, marketing, promotion, production improvements, food safety, and other activities that benefit the broader specialty-crop industry. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, commodity associations, state and local government agencies, colleges, and universities. Individuals, farms, and for-profit businesses are not eligible to apply directly. Grant amounts vary according to the annual federal allocation and approved project budgets; there is no single standard award amount publicly stated for every project. The program operates annually, and the 2026 application period is currently open. Applicants should review the current application materials for the applicable funding limits, project requirements, and submission deadline. The opportunity is intended for projects benefiting North Carolina’s specialty-crop sector rather than individual businesses or farms.
