$300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture helps Fish Processors of Idaho promote Idaho cavier nationwide

South-central Idaho might be on the verge of making a splash on the national caviar scene.

Yes, caviar.

Leo Ray, owner of Fish Processors of Idaho, learned Friday that his business won a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to promote his caviar nationwide. Ray received a Value-Added Producer Grant, designed to help farmers advertise new products and build economies in rural communities.

"We’ll see if we can’t build a national market for Idaho caviar," a thrilled Ray said Monday night.
