Handling Regulation for Celery Grown in Florida
The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule which established the quantity of Florida celery which handlers may ship to fresh markets during the 1994-95 marketing season at 6,712,910 crates or 100 percent of producers' base quantities. The 1994-95 marketing season covers the period August 1, 1994, through July 31, 1995. This final rule is intended to lend stability to the industry, and help provide consumers with an adequate supply of the product. As in past marketing seasons, the limitation on the quantity of Florida celery handled for fresh shipment is not expected to restrict the quantity of Florida celery actually produced or shipped to fresh markets, because production and shipments are anticipated to be less than the marketable quantity. This action was unanimously recommended by the Florida Celery Committee (Committee), the agency responsible for local administration of the order.
