Papayas Grown in Hawaii; Proposed Rule to Change the Membership of the Papaya Administrative Committee

Summary

A proposed rule aims to revise the composition of the Papaya Administrative Committee, which oversees the local administration of the Hawaiian papaya marketing order, by increasing the number of grower representatives from six to nine and reducing the number of handler representatives from six to three, as the industry has seen a rise in growers while handlers have remained stable over the past few years.
