  Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program The Food Supply Chain Guaranteed Loan Program was a part of USDA’s Build Back Better initiative to strengthen critical supply chains and our food system. This program guaranteed loans of up to $40 million for qualified lenders to finance food systems projects, specifically for the start-up or expansion of activities in the middle of the food supply chain. The program supported new investments in infrastructure for food aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storage, transportation, wholesaling, and distribution to increase capacity and create a more resilient, diverse, and secure U.S. food supply chain. This program was fully funded by the American Rescue Plan Act and is no longer accepting applications.
