Grant
Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program - Phase 4The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Business-Cooperative Service is offering $60 million in competitive grant funding under the Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program - Phase 4 to strengthen local meat and poultry supply chains by expanding processing capacity for Very Small, Small, and Intermediate Processors. Funding is split equally between two separate competitions: one targeting Very Small and Small Processors and another for Intermediate Processors, each with independent ranking and award processes. Applicants may apply for two types of projects: Processing Expansion Projects, which support equipment purchases over $250,000 along with renovations or upgrades to existing facilities, and Simplified Equipment-Only Projects, which cover only the cost of equipment without installation or labor. Processing Expansion Projects require a 50 percent cost share, while Simplified Equipment-Only Projects require a 25 percent cost share. Eligible applicants include for-profit businesses, nonprofits, producer-owned cooperatives, tribes, and tribal entities, provided they are domestically owned, independently operated, have been in business for at least one year, and are currently operating under a USDA FSIS grant of inspection, a Cooperative Interstate Shipment program, or a state inspection program with standards equal to federal requirements. Entities holding a market share equal to or greater than the fourth-largest national processor in beef, pork, chicken, or turkey are ineligible, as are those with active awards from previous MPPEP phases or similar USDA programs. Applications must include detailed business plans, financial documents, letters of customer demand, key personnel information, and letters of support, among other appendices. The proposal must demonstrate financial sustainability, market impact, technical feasibility, labor practices, community benefit, and producer support through a quantitative scoring system totaling up to 110 points, with additional discretionary priority points available. Performance periods range up to 36 months for expansion projects and 24 months for equipment-only projects, with awards expected to be issued no earlier than October 22, 2026. All applicants must maintain an active Unique Entity Identifier from SAM.gov and submit via Grants.gov by the August 7, 2026 deadline, adhering to strict formatting requirements including a 20-page narrative limit and 500-word project description. Compliance with federal and state food safety, labor, and health regulations is mandatory throughout the award period.
