Dairy Funding
Opportunities
The NE-DBIC provides support to dairy businesses through projects that promote the development, production, marketing, and distribution of dairy products. Projects target dairy farms and processors while providing additional support through market research and technical assistance. The Center’s investment and project strategy promotes innovation and resiliency for regional production of dairy products.
