Poll closed - Immigration tops concerns

What is the number one public policy issue for the produce industry at the national level?


What is the number one public policy issue for the produce industry at the national level?
Immigration
10 (47%)
Child nutrition reauthorization
1 (4%)
Food safety legislation
5 (23%)
COOL implementation
4 (19%)
Fruit and vegetable snack program implementation
1 (4%)


Votes so far: 21
Poll closed



TK: Somewhat surprisingly, immigration is rated as the number one public policy issue for the fresh produce industry; I would have pegged food safety legislation as #1. Clearly, action on immigration reform will have to wait on a new Administration and a mustering of political will that has been lacking for more years than anyone cares to count.
