This manual is to be used as a guide for Federal and Federal-State managers and/or supervisors who have been assigned to direct shipping point and terminal (receiving) market grading and inspection activities of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other products under cooperative agreements. Without quality supervisory personnel by both Federal and Federal-State supervisors, the Specialty Crops Inspection Division (SCI Division), would not be able to fulfill its mission in providing the industry with the best possible grading service. To the maximum extent possible, this manual is meant to assist supervisors in carrying out the mission of SCI Division.
