USDA begins to address needs of Hispanic Market
The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) recently held its first Spanish-language webinar: An Introduction to PACA – In Spanish. Pat Romero, Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) Western Regional director, introduced participants to the PACA Branch and discussed how it protects the produce industry.
The Hispanic community, the fastest growing population in the country, plays a major role in U.S. agriculture. AMS wants to make sure that this community is well-informed. The agency felt there was no better way to get the word out than to produce a webinar in Spanish.
