A bill to establish as a permanent program the organic market development grant program of the Department of Agriculture.

S 2936 establishes the Organic Market Development Grant Program as a permanent initiative under the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The bill provides federal grants to eligible entities - including organic producers, cooperatives, nonprofits, tribal governments, and processors - to expand storage, processing, and distribution capacity for certified organic products. Grants support activities like equipment upgrades, market development, compliance with organic standards, and technical assistance, with funding set at $75 million annually from the Commodity Credit Corporation. Projects can receive up to $3 million (or $100,000 for equipment-only), requiring a 50% cost match for most grants. This program directly benefits domestic organic supply chain participants seeking to grow market access and modernize operations.
