MDA has entered a $4.3 million cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service under the RFSI program.  RFSI will support middle of the supply chain projects that improve capacity for the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, and distribution of locally and regionally produced food products.

Industry partners and stakeholders are crucial to ensure RFSI delivers a significant impact for producers, businesses, consumers, and rural communities statewide.


Thank you,
