The Association of Fruit and Vegetable Inspection and Standardization Agencies (AFVISA) is a voluntary organization established in 1986, comprising state inspection programs responsible for inspecting and standardizing fresh fruit, vegetables, peanuts, and tree nuts at shipping points. AFVISA aims to promote uniformity among member agencies, states, and the federal government, facilitating commerce through annual conferences and the development of model laws and regulations.
With two primary objectives, AFVISA fosters a close understanding between state agencies and the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, and related agencies regarding the inspection and standardization of fresh products. Additionally, AFVISA provides a platform for member agencies' personnel to formulate and promote policies for maintaining and implementing effective Fresh Fruit and Vegetable and Standardization Services.
