"Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association is a very important part of
the agricultural industry in Florida – specifically for the
grapefruit and orange industry. Mike Stuart and his team have done a
wonderful job from Tallahassee to Washington to the fields of Florida,
and we would not be the same industry had we not had the benefit of
FFVA."
-- Dan Richey, Riverfront Groves

One of the things that has been most helpful in dealing with
FFVA is the attention to farm labor-related issues. We really rely on
the staff to keep us up to date on the latest in that area. That
represents one of the key issues that affect our operations.

of Florida agriculture are heard and understood by policy-makers in

"Growing healthy fruits and vegetables for American families is a
passion that I will continue to do until God tells me it’s time to
come help feed his family. Without FFVA fighting for our rights to
continue this passion, we would all be making widgets in China. God
Bless the American farmer."
-- Tom O’Brien, C & D Fruit and Vegetable
Co.

“The crop protection expertise and services FFVA brings
to the table are second to none. Through the association’s
hard work, vital tools are available to growers in Florida. Thanks
to FFVA and Third Party Registrations, I have more choices than I did 10
years ago.”
