The approach of the USDA Regional Food Business Centers rely on the cultivation of those relationships — between individuals, communities, regions, sectors, and institutions — with an eye toward economic success and equitable social and financial benefits.

The Delta Regional Food Business Center offers regionally tailored activities to:

  • Increase food and farm business and finance acumen;
  • Create more and better markets;
  • Increase market awareness and access;
  • Ensure small and mid-size producers have the opportunity to gain access to distributors, retail outlets and institutions;
