Show full summary
- Producers, handlers, and processors could get competitive grants to expand storage, processing, aggregation, and distribution. Grants for these projects would top out at $2.0 million.
- Equipment-only projects would qualify for a simplified application and grants up to $100,000 and commonly require a 25 percent non-Federal match.
- Units of Tribal government and entities transitioning to organic certification are eligible, and the Secretary can provide technical assistance and may waive or reduce matching requirements for beginning farmers and veterans. Grant priorities may consider reliance on imports and recommendations from the National Organic Standards Board.

Grants and help for organic producers
If enacted, the Agriculture Department would create a Domestic Organic Investment Program (DOIP) to help certified organic producers, handlers, and Tribal units modernize and expand storage, processing, aggregation, and distribution. The Secretary would award competitive grants each fiscal year funds are provided. Grants could be up to $2,000,000 for capacity-expansion projects and up to $100,000 for equipment-only projects, usually for up to 3 years. Applicants must be certified organic or in transition and owned and run in a U.S. State, DC, a U.S. territory, or Tribal jurisdiction. Entities whose organic operations are suspended or revoked under 7 C.F.R. 205.662 would be ineligible. Congress could appropriate such sums as are necessary for FY2026 through FY2030, and that money would remain available until spent.
