DATES: Applications Due Date: We will accept applications from December 10, 2024, through January 8, 2025.

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 [Docket ID FSA–2024–0011] Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA); Marketing Assistance for Specialty Crops Commodity Credit Corporation and Farm Service Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
