Fertilizer Product Expansion Program is run by Department of Agriculture. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $748 million in 106 grants, about $7.1 million per award.

## Objectives

The purpose of FPEP is to expand capacity, improve competition, and increase supply chain resilience within the agricultural fertilizer and nutrient management sector, in connection with the production of agricultural commodities. To meet its purpose, FPEP will support the production of agricultural commodities through the manufacturing and processing of fertilizer and nutrient alternatives that are:
Independent and outside the dominant fertilizer suppliers. The goal is to increase competition. Consequently, entities that hold a market share (in either manufacturing, processing, or distribution) that is greater than or equal to the entity that holds the fourth largest share of the market for nitrogen, phosphate, or potash, as applicable, will not be considered for funding;
Made in America - Produced in the U.S. by companies located in the U.S. and territories, creating good-paying jobs at home, and reducing the reliance on potentially unstable or inconsistent foreign supplies;
Innovative – To improve upon fertilizer production methods and efficient-use technologies to jump start the next generation of fertilizers and nutrient alternatives;
Sustainable - Reduces the greenhouse gas impact of transportation, production, and use through renewable energy sources, feedstocks, formulations, and incentivizing greater precision in fertilizer use; and
Farmer-focused - a driving factor will be making sure the additional capacity supported by USDA is dedicated to U.S. agricultural commodity
production.
