Projects for this scheme will need to be about the organisation, promotion, co-ordination or facilitation of the marketing of agricultural products, including non-food crops such as biofuels.

Farmers and growers - applications from partnerships and co-operatives particularly encouraged. There is a limited budget available and only the best applications will receive funding.

Maximum grant £0.5 million, but to attract such a large grant a project would need to be able to demonstrate very wide benefits.
