The International Pork Marketing Fund (IPMF) was exhausted as of March 31, 2013. The IPMF provided financial assistance for incoming and outgoing missions as well as for some branded initiatives.
CPI submitted an application to the new AgriMarketing Program, managed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) to renew funding for those activities for the next five years. Indications are that CPI will receive some funding however there is no confirmation of amount. A formal response to the application is expected later this summer.
For the time being, CPI will accept new applications for regular members for activities that take place before then. Those applications will be forwarded to the Approval Committee and if approved, will be placed on a waiting list until funding is available. Please note that if CPI is not successful in obtaining funding for those activities, CPI members will be responsible for all their expenses or will be required to reimburse CPI in full for any demonstrations or promotional activities executed on their behalf.
Please note that all eligible projects must be approved prior to execution. Travel claims and promotional activities will not be reimbursed in 2013-2014 if an application form has not been submitted and approved in advance.
