Working Groups
The Fruit and Nut Working Group
In 2016, the Fruit and the Coffee Working Groups merged, expanded their scope and became the Fruit and Nut Working Group.
The Fruit and Nut and Arable and Vegetable Working Groups were incorporated into the Crops Working Group in 2018.
Throughout its history, the Fruit and Nut Working Group shared best practices and real-world experiences and collaborated on initiatives and projects that supported sustainable farming.
