Description

The Perennial Crop Development Program is designed to increase sustainability in PEI’s agriculture sector. Perennial crops are often considered to have both substantial ecological and economic benefits compared to annual crop species. Perennial crops can increase carbon levels in the soil and reduce contamination of watercourses and wetlands through erosion control, water-use efficiency, and nutrient cycling efficiency.

The Program will support the implementation of perennial crop development through two sub-programs:

  • Perennial Crop Establishment Sub-Program
  • Perennial Crop Efficiency Sub-Program

Eligible Applicants

Perennial Crop Establishment Sub-Program:

  • Mi’kmaq First Nations and other Indigenous groups;
  • Agricultural producers;
  • Small to medium-sized agri-businesses;
  • Agriculture industry organizations, clubs, and associations;
  • Agricultural co-ops; and
  • Others may be considered upon request.

 

Perennial Crop Efficiency Sub-Program:

  • Mi’kmaq First Nations and other Indigenous groups;
  • Agricultural producers;
  • Small to medium-sized agri-businesses;
  • Agricultural co-ops; and

    • mulch; and
    • seed for orchard/vineyard ground cover, etc.
  • Adoption and/or evaluation of perennial crop process improvements identified as leading-edge production technology to reduce costs, add value, improve efficiencies, improve product quality or increase market access.
  • Costs associated with perennial crop establishment, except for those expenses listed in “Ineligible Expenses”

 

Perennial Crop Efficiency Sub-Program:
