AB 2743: Buy California Program: task forces: events drawing significant world attention.
The bill aims to improve the Buy California Program, a public-private collaboration that encourages consumer awareness of nutritional food and purchases of high-quality California agricultural products. The program's marketing efforts will be enhanced by establishing a task force consisting of members from various marketing councils and commissions. This task force will provide the Secretary of Food and Agriculture with recommendations on how to effectively utilize available resources to promote California agricultural products during significant global events. The goal is to capitalize on these events to increase market opportunities and promote the program's objectives.
