Add value to your farm or business by developing a food product and moving it to market. Jill Gifford, Program Manager at the Food Processing Center (FPC) (hyperlink: fpc.unl.edu), University of Nebraska-Lincoln talks about the processes needed to get a food product developed and on the grocery shelf. On the average it takes about one year and at least $35,000 to develop a new food product. Most difficult areas are converting the kitchen recipe to a manufacturing situation and package development that follows regulations and attracts the consumer.
