The AgriInnovation Program is a five-year initiative beginning April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2018, with a project completion date of January 31, 2018 to allow for a program evaluation to occur. The Commercialization and Adoption Stream is focused on helping companies with innovative agri-products, technologies, or services proceed through the product demonstration, commercialization and adoption phases. As the program begins in 2013, the focus will be on pre-commercialization product demonstration and product commercialization. For Adoption projects, funding can be obtained, initially, through the Agri-Processing Initiative which remains open through April 2014.
