The meeting is being convened to examine industry recommendations provided by the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) and the United Fresh Produce Association (United Fresh). During the two-day FVIAC public meeting held November 3-4, 2021, the industry trade groups jointly submitted recommendations for discussion and consideration by FVIAC representatives. This virtual meeting will provide FVIAC representatives the opportunity to engage with United Fresh-PMA stakeholders on the groups' suggested recommendations.

The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) plans to meet in Sacramento, California in October 2022. The in-person meeting will be webcast live for those who are not able to travel. Should an in-person meeting not be possible, the meeting will be held virtually. Updates will be posted on this web page.

The NOSB will meet to discuss substances petitioned for addition to or deletion from the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List), substances due to sunset from the National List in 2024, and recommendations on organic policies.
