Provincial Agrifoods Assistance Program (PAAP)

NL Dept. of Forestry, Agriculture and Lands · Provincial

In plain language

NL's only purely provincial agri-foods cost-share program — sits alongside the federal-provincial S-CAP stack. Two streams: Agriculture Infrastructure (buildings, irrigation, greenhouses, post-harvest storage; up to $20K for new entrants) and Land Development (clearing, drainage, soil amendment). Applicant must have $15K+ in past-three-year ag sales, OR be a qualifying new entrant. Deadline April 25 every spring. Funding priority for food self-sufficiency, production growth, and secondary processing. Pairs with S-CAP Environmental Farm Plan for a multi-source capital stack on the same farm.
