Ministry for Primary Industries

Primary Sector Growth Fund

The Primary Sector Growth Fund (PSGF) provides support on a co-investment basis to help primary sector businesses, industry bodies, and other groups to:

- leverage opportunities or address problems
- create benefits for New Zealand and themselves.

Proposals may cover multiple aspects of the food and fibre sector’s value chain — new products, technology and services, or new ways of operating, producing, marketing, handling and distributing.

The primary purpose of a project could be economic, environmental, social, or cultural. However, applications must show us how success in the project will enable direct economic benefits for the food and fibre sectors in New Zealand more broadly.

The PSGF will not fund projects that an organisation or company would be expected to complete as part of its core business.

Please visit our website (www.mpi.govt.nz/funding-rural-support/primary-sector-growth-fund/about-the-primary-sector-growth-fund) for more information about the Fund and how to submit an expression of interest for the PSGF (www.mpi.govt.nz/funding-rural-support/primary-sector-growth-fund/how-to-submit-an-expression-of-interest-for-the-primary-sector-growth-fund-psgf).
