- What it does
- The Organic Market Development Grant (OMDG) program will support the development of new and expanded organic markets by providing additional resources and certainty for businesses transitioning to organic or initiating new organic production and processing capacity. By investing in certified organic, expanding capacity for aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, distribution, or consumer markets, the anticipated increase in market activity will both address demand for domestically produced agricultural products and the critical need for additional market paths identified by domestic organic producers.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
