Sprouts Farmers Market expects to open 40 to 50 in Florida over the next five years. It will follow the roadmap of another organic grocer, Lucky's, but hopes for a better fate.
Oranges continue to see a pandemic-related lift in demand.
“Demand has been a little better than normal years. I’d assume COVID-19 and people being at home are the reason for that,” says Adam Flowers of Booth Ranches in Orange Cove, CA. “With the extra harvest production and extra harvest numbers that we’re seeing, even with the additional demand, we will get deeper into the season than normal. It looks like the late side of the crop is a little stronger and will have more volume than normal years so I’d expect to go deep into June if not the first part of July.”
DOL s Final H-2A Rule and Citrus Shines Amid Pandemic
Thursday Jan 21st, 2021 From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update. In his final days at the USDA, Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue applauds the Department of Labor’s final rule modernizing the H-2A visa program that will streamline the H-2A application process by mandating electronic filing of job orders and applications.
The changes are designed to bring the H-2A application process into the digital era, by harnessing the power of the FLAG electronic filing system to share information with federal agencies while being available for the State Workforce systems and domestic farmworkers.
