The FY2027 President's Budget requests $16.5M for Local Agriculture Market Program VAPG, within Agriculture (USDA)'s Rural Cooperative Development Grants account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $16.5M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $16.5M |
| FY2027 | request | $16.5M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Agriculture (USDA) discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Agriculture (USDA)'s discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the Local Agriculture Market Program and Value-Added Producer Grants, which help producers create marketing opportunities and develop local and regional food systems.
Extracted from Rural Business-Cooperative Service, p. 33. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
1 linked contract. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.
| Contract | Vendor | Confidence | Obligated |

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
