What is value-added?
Currently the Montana Agriculture Innovation Center defines value-added as required by our funding source to be the following:
The incremental value that is realized by the producer of an agriculture commodity or product as the result of (1) a change in its physical state, (2) differentiated production of markets, as demonstrated in a business plan, or (3) product segregation.
