The International Fresh Produce Association congratulates Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) on his election to the Speaker of the House. As Louisiana is home to more than $1.17 billion in economic impact from fresh fruit, vegetable and floral products, we look forward to working with him as he leads the House of Representatives, in funding government programs that protect the food supply and serve agriculture, addressing growers' critical need for a reliable workforce, and passing a bipartisan farm bill that prioritizes support for the U.S. fresh fruit and vegetable industry.
