Produce Inspection Training Program

Register Your Team for Produce Inspection Training Today!

United Fresh and the USDA-AMS have partnered to bring the industry the Produce Inspection Training Program.  This unique program is designed to provide real, hands-on instruction from USDA experts to anyone involved in the produce supply chain - grower to retailer. 

If you receive, handle, buy, ship, or sell produce - this course
is for you!



This specialized training consists of two courses: Fundamentals of Produce Inspection and Commodity Labs.  The 2-day Fundamentals Course is a classroom-based program that covers grading, standards, tolerances, PACA, sampling procedures, and more. 

The 3-day Commodity Labs course focuses on hands-on commodity inspections in the lab. Each Labs course includes inspection of the five most commonly requested commodities: Grapes, Lettuces, Potatoes, Strawberries, and Tomatoes, plus up additional commodities based on the attendees' most common preferences (up to 12 total!). 

Register now for one of three courses in 2010:

*Attendees must attend the Fundamentals Course as a pre-requisite to the Commodity Labs

Group Discounts
Companies who register three or more attendees for both the Fundamentals & Commodity Labs Courses will receive a $100 a discount off each registration fee. Registrations must be received at the same time, for the same course.
