Perennial Crop Renewal
This program provides cost-shared funding to help producers remove and replace unproductive, diseased, or unmarketable perennial cultivars. Funded by the Government of BC and delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation (IAF), PCRP enables producers to transition toward more resilient and market-aligned crops and growing systems. Up to $15 million is available across the program’s three streams.
Eligible funding may include:
• Crop removal projects including site prep and infrastructure teardown
• Replanting of sector-prioritized crops like apples, cherries, grapes, and hazelnuts
• Sector development activities such as feasibility studies or applied research
The program supports long-term farm sustainability and improves alignment with evolving market and climate realities.
