农业部拨款60.35万美元扩南卡罗来纳州肉类加工产能：两家加工商获资助
美国农业部（USDA）农村发展署南卡罗来纳州主任 Jacob French 2026年11月2日在 Columbia 宣布，该州两家肉类加工商将通过肉类与禽肉加工扩产计划（MPPEP）获得共 603,529 美元拨款，用于扩大产能、开拓市场。
获得拨款的两家加工商是：位于 Spartanburg County Roebuck 的 Knockout Butchery LLC 获 414,604 美元；位于 Sumter County 的 Neverdun Farms, LLC 获 188,925 美元。
Knockout Butchery 是一家受农业部检验的肉类加工厂，服务南卡罗来纳州北部及全州的畜牧生产者。该项目不新建加工厂，而是把现有厂房旁一栋建筑改建为专门的即食产品生产空间：屠宰与分割留在现有受检厂房内，烹制、烟熏、包装等即食工序移入新空间，投产后年产量将从约 15,400 磅提高到 205,400 磅以上。
Neverdun Farms 的拨款将用于购置设备，提高生产效率与成品仓储能力，申请人另配套出资 62,975 美元；该厂年屠宰产能预计将从约 250 至 300 头提高到最高约 400 头，并把一个兼职岗位转为全职、可能再增一个兼职岗位。
French 表示，特朗普总统与农业部长 Brooke L. Rollins 正在通过投资牧场主与农民依赖的本地牛肉加工商来强化美国农业，他本人曾在食品安全部门工作，深知本地小型加工商的重要性，这批拨款是对南卡罗来纳州农村经济的重要投资，将创造就业、增加竞争并建设更有韧性的牛肉供应链。
南卡罗来纳州的这两笔拨款，是副总统 J.D. Vance 与农业部长 Brooke L. Rollins 此前全国宣布的一部分：40 个州的加工商将通过 MPPEP 获得共 57,424,130 美元、147 个项目。该计划由农村发展署的 Rural Business-Cooperative Services 管理，旨在帮助独立加工商扩产、鼓励竞争并增强供应链韧性；农业部迄今已通过该计划向独立企业拨款逾 2 亿美元，农业部农村发展署本轮已开始逐州落实拨付。（来源：美国农业部）
USDA Awards $603,529 to Expand Meat Processing Capacity in South Carolina: Two Processors Funded
Jacob French, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development State Director for South Carolina, announced in Columbia on November 2, 2026, that two South Carolina meat processors are expected to receive a total of $603,529 through the Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program (MPPEP) to expand their capacity and create new and better markets.
The two recipients are Knockout Butchery LLC of Roebuck, in Spartanburg County, which will receive $414,604, and Neverdun Farms, LLC of Sumter County, which will receive $188,925.
Knockout Butchery is a USDA-inspected meat processing facility serving livestock producers throughout the Upstate and across South Carolina. Rather than constructing a new plant, the project will retrofit an existing building adjacent to the current facility into specialized ready-to-eat manufacturing space: slaughter and fabrication will remain in the existing inspected facility, while cooking, smoking, packaging and other ready-to-eat operations move into the separate space. Annual production is expected to expand from about 15,400 pounds to more than 205,400 pounds.
Neverdun Farms will use its grant to purchase equipment to improve productivity and final storage capacity, with an applicant contribution of $62,975. Its annual harvest capacity is expected to rise from about 250 to 300 head to a maximum of about 400 head, converting one part-time position to full-time and potentially adding one additional part-time position.
French said President Donald Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins are strengthening American agriculture by investing in the local beef processors ranchers and farmers rely on, and that, from his time in the Office of Food Safety, he has seen firsthand how important local small processors are. He called the awards a major investment in South Carolina's rural economy, creating jobs, increasing competition and building a more resilient beef supply chain.
The South Carolina awards are part of a national announcement by Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary Rollins under which processors in 40 states are expected to receive a total of $57,424,130 in 147 awards. MPPEP is managed by Rural Development's Rural Business-Cooperative Services and provides grants to help independently owned processors expand capacity, encourage competition and improve supply chain resiliency. USDA has awarded more than $200 million to independent businesses under the program, and Rural Development is now beginning to obligate the funds state by state.
