This page was last updated December 12, 2024. Introduction to RFSI Program The Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) Program is designed to develop and administer state-coordinated initiatives that enhance resilience in the middle-of-the-supply-chain operations while strengthening local and regional food systems.
The Hawaii RFSI Program, allocated with $2,587,480 in funding, prioritizes expanding capacity and infrastructure for the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution of specific agricultural products (including eggs and honey but excluding meat and poultry).
In partnership with the USDA-AMS, the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) will conduct a competitive solicitation process to distribute funds across two grant categories. The Infrastructure Grant Program will provide up to $1,587,480 in funding and the Simplified Equipment-Only Grant Program will provide an additional $1,000,000. Applicants have the option to choose either grant offering.
Infrastructure grants range in value, ranging from a minimum award of $100,000 to a maximum award of $500,000, with a 50% matching fund requirement (though certain historically underserved groups may qualify for reduced match of 25%). Simplified Equipment-Only grants range from a minimum award of $10,000 to a maximum award of $100,000, with no matching fund requirement.
The significance of the RFSI Program for Hawaii lies in its aim to enhance food processing options for local and regional producers across the island chain. The primary focus of project funding is on expanding capacity and infrastructure in the middle of the supply chain, thereby strengthening the local food system.
The USDA defines the middle of the food supply chain as activities occurring after the production of the agricultural product but before the product is sold to consumers. These activities encompass the processing, aggregation, and distribution of agricultural products between leaving the field and entering the marketplace.
Consequently, grant funds are ineligible for use in cultivations, harvest, or retail marketing of eligible food products.
Eligibility is open to domestically owned entities with facilities physically located within the State of Hawaii, including: Agricultural producers or processors, and groups thereof; Nonprofit organizations engaged in middle-of-the-supply-chain activities, such as processing, aggregation, and distribution of designated agricultural products; For-profit entities involved in middle-of-the-supply-chain activities like processing, aggregation, or distribution of designated agricultural products, with a primarily focus on local and regional producer benefit, and meeting SBA small business size standards; Local government entities participating in middle-of-the-supply-chain activities, such as processing, aggregation, and distribution of designated agricultural products; Tribal governments engaged in middle-of-the-supply-chain activities, such as processing, aggregation, and distribution of designated agricultural products; and Institutions such as schools, universities, or hospitals that facilitate collaboration among producers or invest in equipment to benefit multiple producers in middle-of-the-supply-chain activities, including processing, aggregation, and distribution of designated agricultural product.

Missouri's Department of Agriculture has reopened its Urban Agriculture Cost-Share Grant — reimbursing 75% of project costs up to $10,000, with applications due September 15, 2026. A companion Food Insecure Cost-Share Grant closes August 26. Here is how these small, fast state grants work, who qualifies under the Census 'urban area' definition, and how to layer them with the federal USDA Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production program for a durable urban-farming funding strategy.
Read articleUSDA opened the $500 million Fertilizer Investment & Expansion for Long-term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) program on July 1, 2026, with cost-share awards from $15 million to $150 million and an August 17 deadline. Here is who can win, why the program is engineered for shovel-ready plants, and how the fight over fertilizer market concentration created a funding lane worth understanding.
Read articleWhile applicants chase fixed federal deadlines, USDA Rural Development keeps roughly $4.1 billion moving through programs with no deadline at all — Community Facilities, Water & Waste Disposal, and Business & Industry loans that accept applications year-round. But 2026 brought a quiet shake-up: REAP grants paused, RBDG's competitive window closed. Here is the map of what's open, what's frozen, and how rural organizations should work a rolling pipeline.
