Value-Added Agriculture Policies Across the 50 States

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: State support for value-added agriculture has a long history. Currently, every State explicitly supports value-added agriculture in some way. The programs offered relate to the types of agro-industry in each State. State-grown product promotion programs are the most popular. At least 37 States target financial and technical assistance to businesses that use farm products. The effect of agroindustry support on rural income depends on its impact on new business location, productivity, rural unemployment, and whether or not owners and employees are in rural areas.
