The
Specialty Crop Committee was
established in accordance with the
Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act of
2004 under Title III, Section 303 of
Public Law 108–465. This Committee is
a permanent committee of the National
Agricultural Research, Extension,
Education, and Economics Advisory
Board (the Board). The Committee’s
charge is to study the scope and
effectiveness of research, extension, and
economics programs affecting the
specialty crop industry. The
congressional legislation defines
‘‘specialty crops’’ as fruits, vegetables,
tree nuts, dried fruits and nursery crops
(including floriculture). In order to carry
out its responsibilities effectively, the
Committee is holding these stakeholder
listening sessions. The Committee seeks
stakeholder input from industry and
state representatives, national
organizations and institutions, local
producers, agricultural researchers and
extension educators, and other groups
interested in the issues with which the
Specialty Crop Committee is charged.
Comments on measures to improve the
efficiency, productivity, profitability
and economic stability of specialty crop
producers; on regional or national data
or information needed by the industry
to evaluate its competitive position; and
on measures designed to improve the
competitiveness of research, extension
and economics programs affecting the
industry are particularly sought. The
format will focus on several panel
sessions, each relating to one or more
specific issues delineated in the
Committee’s charge. Each panel will be
followed with questions or comments
by Committee members and from the
floor. Opportunities for brief
presentations and general discussion
from the public participants will be
provided.
Also, written comments by attendees
and other interested stakeholders will
be welcomed as additional public input
before and up to two weeks following
the listening sessions. All statements
will become part of the official public
record of the Board’s Specialty Crop
Committee.
