OPVC Competitive Grant Program

​

The Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission (OPVC) supports research on the following vegetable crops: snap beans, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and sweet corn. Research is funded based on a per-ton assessment collected on vegetables produced in the state. Every year, the OPVC awards money for research projects aimed at addressing issues relevant to the processed vegetable industry.

​

Seven commission members made up of producers, processors, and a member of the public will evaluate and select research proposals to fund based on their importance to the industry and the merit of proposed research.

​

Deadline for 2025-26 proposals to be submitted: January 13, 2025

Proposals will be presented to the OPVC board on Friday January 17, 2025, 12:00 pm. This will be a hybrid meeting of in-person and virtual attendance.
