NWA Advocacy

The National Watermelon Association engages in advocacy efforts with Congress, federal agencies, and The White House to promote policies vital to the sustainability of the U.S. watermelon industry. Collaborating with allies on Capitol Hill, we advocate for watermelon growers on key issues such as agricultural labor, export promotion, specialty crop farm bill programs, and federal nutrition programs. We have built a strong legislative and regulatory policy foundation through grassroots initiatives across major watermelon-producing regions.
