Washington, D.C. - The following statement from the International Fresh Produce Association can be attributed to IFPA’s Vice President of U.S. Government Relations Rebeckah Adcock:
“The International Fresh Produce Association is pleased to see the Farm Bill advance out of committee, marking an important step toward securing the future of American agriculture, enhancing food security, and promoting a healthier nation.
“We commend Chairman Thompson and the entire House Agriculture Committee for their diligent work and dedication to this legislation. Their efforts ensure that vital investments for the fresh produce industry and all specialty crops are maintained and expanded. Continued bipartisan negotiation will be essential to ensure the bill meets the diverse needs of our agricultural sector. IFPA stands ready to support those efforts."
