Livestock Waste Tissue Initiative (LWTI)
$435,000.00
Grant
Description:
The Livestock Waste Tissue Initiative (LWTI) was established by the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food in 2005 to support the livestock sector with the disposal of Specified Risk Material (SRM) and other abattoir waste. Recent service disruptions in the western Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver regions have created an opportunity for new or existing operators to fill the gap in deadstock collection services.
Comments on Funding:
Up to $435,000 in funding is available to support the development of a business plan and necessary capital expenditures for initiating or enhancing deadstock collection operations.
Notably, up to $25,000 per applicant may be available to develop or update a comprehensive business plan, including market analysis, operational strategy, financial planning, and risk assessment. If multiple applicants are identified the Program reserves the right to request selected applicants to complete a business plan.
