Tomatoes Grown in Florida; Change in Size Designation

This rule increases the maximum diameter of the 6x6 numeric size designation currently prescribed under the Florida tomato marketing order (order). The order regulates the handling of tomatoes grown in Florida and is administered locally by the Florida Tomato Committee (Committee). The maximum diameter will be increased by \2/32\ of an inch, from 2\27/32\ inches to 2\29/32\ inches. This change will allow handlers to pack slightly larger tomatoes in a 6x6 container, and provide them with greater flexibility when packing tomatoes. The increased flexibility is expected to increase the number and availability of containers of 6x6 tomatoes, which are often in short supply.
