This morning, I joined leaders from across the fresh produce industry at the @IntFreshProduce Conference here in Washington, D.C.
I shared how the Trump administration is putting farmers first by expanding export opportunities, supporting specialty crop growers, reducing burdensome regulations, and continuing our work to Make America Healthy Again through real, nutritious food grown by American producers.🍎🍍🫐
These producers are essential to our economy and our food security!

Floriculture and horticulture are often overlooked sectors of the specialty crop industry, but they face challenges that deserve attention.
Grateful to @RepCarbajal for advocating for all growers to have a seat at the table.

The future of agriculture is taking shape.

Thank you, @RepKMR, for standing up for greenhouse growers. Controlled environment fruit and vegetable growers face many of the same cost pressures as the broader sector. We appreciate your leadership in seeking solutions that support all specialty crop producers.
