Adding Value to Oklahoma
Welcome to FAPC!
For many, Oklahoma’s food and agricultural industries evoke thoughts of wheat and
cattle. While this is a rich part of Oklahoma’s heritage and a significant portion
of our economy, many of these commodities are currently sent to other states or even
other countries for further processing into the bakery, meat and other products that
reach the consumers’ table. We strive to help develop value-added enterprises to keep
the products, jobs and dollars in Oklahoma.
