November 30, 2024

Value

The maximum AAFC contribution for a project will normally not exceed $1 million over 3 years (2022-2023 to 2024-2025).

Description

The African Swine Fever Prevention and Preparedness investment aims to enhance efforts to prevent African swine fever (ASF) from entering Canada and prepare for a potential outbreak.

As part of the investment from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the African Swine Fever Industry Preparedness Program (ASFIPP) will provide up to $23.4 million over 3 years. The program supports the pork industry to:

  • address identified gaps in prevention and mitigation efforts
  • develop the tools, partnerships, and activities needed to ensure the early detection of ASF and an effective emergency response in case of an outbreak

  • businesses and/or corporations
  • Indigenous groups
  • provincial/territorial/municipal governments

All eligible applicants must be legal entities capable of entering into legally binding agreements.

Eligible Expenses

The program will prioritize projects that support the pork industry’s ASF prevention and mitigation efforts to address gaps and position Canada to anticipate the tools, partnerships, and activities that would be required to ensure an early detection of ASF and an effective emergency response once detected. Program priorities and examples of eligible activities are:

  • Processor retrofits and regional preparation for welfare slaughter and disposal
    • Evaluation of technologies for destruction and disposal
    • Processor retrofits
