Specialty Crop Multi-State Program
The SCMP supports collaborative multi-state partnerships to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops through competitively funded projects.
A multi-state partnership is a project that implements activities with measurable outcomes that benefit two or more U. S. States and/or Territories along with Non-Profit entities.
The focus is to address regional or national level specialty crop issues, including, but not limited to, food safety, plant pests and disease, research, crop-specific projects addressing common issues, and marketing and promotion.
Projects must enhance the competitiveness of U. S. or U. S. territory-grown specialty crops in either domestic or foreign markets.
