Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today 
accepted a petition filed by three Florida avocado producers for trade 
adjustment assistance. The Administrator will determine within 40 days 
whether or not increasing imports of avocados contributed importantly 
to a decline in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or more during 
the marketing period beginning January 2004 and ending December 2004. 
If the determination is positive, all producers who produce and market 
their avocados in Florida will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service 
Agency for technical assistance at no cost and for adjustment 
assistance payments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean-Louis Pajot, Coordinator, Trade 
Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail:
