G. Kawamura put the citrus industry in the spotlight at the 2010 World Ag Expo in Tulare by choosing the Citrus Research Board exhibit as their only “meet-the-media” stop while touring the grounds. Schwarzenegger held an informal press conference at the booth, putting major emphasis on the Asian citrus psyllid and the threat of HLB disease. As in previous years, CRB’s exhibit – (which is in a prime location in heavily-trafficked Pavilion A) – showcased an attention-getting array of citrus varieties to pull people in, while the other half of the booth this year featured the industry’s action plan against ACP/HLB and the work of the CRB Operations Department. The World Ag Expo, which is better known in the ag community as simply “the farm show,” is the world’s largest annual agricultural exposition with 1,600 exhibitors over 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space. The Expo is always scheduled for the second week in February. Photos provided by International Agri-Center. 18 Citrograph May/June 2010
