Eligibility details
- Notes: Eligible applicants include organizations that submit projects enhancing the competitiveness of New Jersey specialty crops in domestic or foreign markets. Projects must produce measurable outcomes for the specialty crop industry and/or the public rather than solely benefiting a single organization, institution, or individual.

Funding will not be awarded for projects that promote or provide profit solely benefiting a single organization, institution, or individual, nor to compete unfairly with companies providing equivalent products or services.
