Submit your feedback between August 18th and September 18th 

The original timeframe for the CA LGMA Romaine T&L Program is set to conclude in October 2025. The CA LGMA, through its Data Governance Group, has taken a proactive step by extending the program for an additional two years to keep learning and diving deeper into the data. 

Along with this extension, LGMA is introducing new data reporting requirements for the program. To reflect these changes, Issue 17 of the metrics needs to be updated. 

Below is a link to the leafygreenguidance.com website, where you can download the proposed draft of Issue 17. Please note that the LGMA Board has already approved the program changes; this comment period is intended to gather feedback on the drafted language of the updated program. 

As a reminder, this program is voluntary and applies only to handlers who are already testing romaine. The new requirements will apply exclusively to those participants.
