Webinar Series:  Learn The Language of Produce

The fruit and vegetable business has a language of its own.  Learn the language of produce to ensure that you receive the product and quality you expect. 

The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) invites you to take part in a series of free, interactive webinars that will provide practical information about how to buy, receive, and handle bulk fresh and fresh-cut produce safely and efficiently.  Each webinar will include a presentation from a USDA expert on a specific topic, introductions to our staff, and an interactive question and answer session. 

If you purchase or receive shipments of fruits and vegetables for a school, hospital, other institution, food hub, or farmers market, these webinars are for you. 

Registration is required and space is limited.  More information.
