OHIO PROUD - a good deal for everyone

Three in four Ohio consumers prefer to buy Ohio food and agricultural goods. Some say they would even pay a bit more for items made in Ohio. Ohio agribusinesses, from farmers and producers to manufacturers and retailers, realize substantial benefits by affiliating with the OHIO PROUD program.

OHIO PROUD is the signature marketing program of the Ohio Department of Agriculture's Division of Markets. This program was established in 1993 to identify and promote food and agricultural products at least 50 percent grown, raised or processed in Ohio.
