Florida joint tomato conference round up

摘要

In addition to doubling retail tomato promotions, support for the country-of-origin labeling law was also reiterated at the 28th annual Florida Joint Tomato Conference, held last month in Naples, Fla. (Please see Samantha Winters' report in this issue titled: Promotional Efforts Proving Worthwhile.) The joint meeting included the Florida Tomato Exchange, a nonprofit coop of first handlers of fresh Florida tomatoes, and the Florida Tomato Growers' Exchange, whose members represent 90 percent of the total tomato production in central and south Florida.
