AGMARDT is now allocating group grants for agribusiness innovation projects

Funding will be awarded for the development or commercialisation of an idea, or to get a project to a stage where it will attract further funding. Grants up to $120,000 are available. Eligible groups include farmers/growers, farm consultants, vets and research or technology providers.

Grants up to $20,000 are also available for pre-trial or demonstration purposes. In usual circumstances farm/industry support in cash, equating to at least 40% of the total project costs, is required to demonstrate commitment.

Project inquiries for the next funding round must be submitted by 30th March 2010.

For further details contact: Stephen Macaulay, AGMARDT, PO Box 25207, Panama Street, Wellington 6146 Telephone 04 499 6173 or visit the website agmardt.org.nz
