The North Carolina Value-Added Cost Share Program (NCVACS) offsets the costs to N.C. value-added producers and processors for equipment purchases that are directly related to the processing, packaging, handling and production of value-added agricultural products made with N.C.-grown agricultural crops.

NCVACS is funded by the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission and the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center through the Family Farm Innovation Fund. NCVACS is administered by N.C. Cooperative Extension and the N.C. MarketReady Program at the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis.
