Abstract: Direct marketing of agricultural products is a billion-dollar industry, but Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) compliance costs may reduce short-term profitability. We discuss the results of a survey of California direct marketers. Respondents generally had negative perceptions of FSMA, and almost 40% were unfamiliar with the legislation.
