The International Fresh Produce Association extends its condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Senator Dianne Feinstein who passed yesterday. The Senator, who was known for collaboration across the aisle, was a longtime and tireless champion of fresh fruits and vegetables in public policy, as well as a powerful and respected advocate of other agricultural issues affecting not only her home state but of the specialty crop industry as a whole.
Senator Feinstein spearheaded efforts to pass agriculture immigration reform and played an integral in the passage of the last comprehensive immigration bill to pass the Senate.
IFPA joins the many who are grateful for the Senator’s leadership and advocacy for our industry and the agricultural community.
