Show full summary
  • Producers and processors would be eligible for competitive grants to expand storage, processing, aggregation, distribution, and ingredient-tracking systems. Grants can reach $2.0 million and generally require a 50% non-Federal match.
  • Equipment-only projects would qualify for smaller awards up to $100,000 with a 25% non-Federal match. The Secretary may waive or reduce the non-Federal share for beginning farmers, ranchers, and veterans.
  • Units of Tribal government are explicitly eligible, and the Secretary may set annual priorities based on import reliance and recommendations from the National Organic Standards Board. The Secretary may also provide technical assistance and limit grants to terms of up to 3 years.

New USDA grants for organic producers

If enacted, the bill would create the Domestic Organic Investment Program (DOIP) at USDA. Eligible organic producers, handlers, cooperatives, Tribal governments, and similar businesses could apply for competitive grants. Grants would fund storage, aggregation, processing, distribution, IT and tracking upgrades, and other supply-chain improvements. Larger projects could get up to $2,000,000 and equipment-only awards up to $100,000. Recipients would normally provide matching funds: at least 50% for big projects and 25% for equipment-only projects, though the Secretary may waive or lower matches for beginning farmers, ranchers, and veterans. Grants would generally last up to 3 years. To apply you must be certified organic or in transition; entities with suspended or revoked organic operations under 7 CFR 205.662 would be excluded. The bill would authorize "such sums as are necessary" to carry out DOIP for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, to remain available until expended.
