By Foodie Pundit Newsroom - Published - Updated - Section: Policy Regulation
Key points
- USDA adopted the California Olive Committees request to cut the grower assessment from $28 to $24 per ton.
- This is a farm-level fee change, it affects what growers pay, not directly your price at the grocery store.
- The rule covers the 2025 fiscal year and all years after, and it stays in effect until changed.
- The record shows no lobbying money or disclosure tied to the rule.
- Retail or restaurant prices are unlikely to shift noticeably; any pass through would be indirect and small.
