Agriculture is an important part of our state's heritage and economy.
Florida is one of America's leading agricultural states, producing a wide range of commodities. As Commissioner of Agriculture, it's my job to help promote Florida agriculture products and expand markets for our state's growers. This is increasingly important in today's competitive global economy. This campaign is a joint venture between the private sector and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The focus of these personal visits is to secure and create new markets for Florida producers, shippers and wholesalers of Florida products.
