SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Specialty crop growers have typically
faced higher marketing costs relative to
non-specialty crop producers due to the
tenderness and perishability of fruits,
vegetables, floriculture, nursery crops,
and herbs. They must invest in
specialized handling and transport
equipment that control for temperature
and humidity, invest in packaging
equipment and materials that prevent
damage to commodities, and confront
the need to get perishable products to
market quickly. They also face labor
costs that are nearly 45 percent of total
variable 1 costs—far higher than the 9
percent average across all the
agricultural sector.2 Labor costs have
increased steadily in recent years and
input costs, in general, remain elevated
in comparison with pre-pandemic
levels.3
