Food Processing, Marketing and Co-operation

A new funding round of the Food Processing, Marketing and Cooperation Grant Scheme is now open. The deadline for applications is midnight on 19th June 2022.

All applications and supporting documents should be sent by email to the FPMC Mailbox.

Please be aware that FPMC now operates as a single year scheme, and as such all projects awarded funding in this round must be completed, with all costs claimed by 31st March 2023.

The scheme provides grant funding to businesses within the Scottish food and drink sector, and supports Scotland's journey towards becoming a Good Food Nation, where it is second nature to produce, buy, serve and eat fresh, healthy food.

The food and drink sector can also help to make Scotland healthier, wealthier and smarter, with stronger communities and production that is socially and environmentally sustainable.

Through this scheme, you can apply for:

start-up grants for a new food processing business

  • development grants for an existing food processing business

 

Funding can help you:

  • develop or create food processing facilities, including buildings and equipment

  • national/international trade shows/fairs.
  • to run co-operative ventures to make sure more value is retained
    by both farmers and growers
  • to improve supply-chain efficiency
