The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is making changes to the South Texas Onion Committee's membership structure in order to address an imbalance in representation between producers and handlers due to a significant decrease in numbers in both groups. The changes will consolidate geographic districts from two to one and reapportion committee membership. The final rule, published in the Federal Register on August 2, 2024, will take effect on September 3, 2024. The USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) oversees marketing orders and agreements for fruit, vegetable, and specialty crops, ensuring fiscal accountability and program integrity.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is modifying the membership structure of the South Texas Onion Committee. This action consolidates the geographic districts under the marketing order from two to one and reapportions committee membership among producers and handlers. The number of onion producers and handlers in South Texas has decreased significantly, which has created an imbalance in committee representation between the two districts.
