The USDA invests $9.3 million in Kansas communities to boost meat processing infrastructure, aiming to strengthen food supply chains, increase independent meat and poultry processing capacity, and lower food costs. The support is part of a larger $110 million initiative for meat processing expansion projects across 30 US states, with grants allocated through the Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program and Local Meat Capacity Grant program.
