The African Swine Fever Prevention and Preparedness investment aims to enhance efforts to prevent African swine fever (ASF) from entering Canada and prepare for a potential outbreak.
As part of the investment from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the African Swine Fever Industry Preparedness Program (ASFIPP) will provide up to $23.4 million over 3 years. The program supports the pork industry to:
- address identified gaps in prevention and mitigation efforts
- develop the tools, partnerships, and activities needed to ensure the early detection of ASF and an effective emergency response in case of an outbreak
For more information on ASF, please visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The ASFIPP offers support under 2 streams:
- Welfare Slaughter and Disposal Stream
- Prevention and Preparedness Stream
Note: There is a separate application process for the African Swine Fever Industry Preparedness Program: Prevention and Preparedness Stream.
What you can receive
The Welfare Slaughter and Disposal Stream will provide non-repayable contributions to projects that focus on processor retrofits and regional preparation for welfare slaughter and disposal.
The maximum AAFC contribution for a project will normally not exceed $1 million over 3 years (2022-2023 to 2024-2025).
