Greenhouse Grower's "Grower to Grower" podcast presents an episode featuring Kamron Newberry, the Regulatory and Trade Policy Coordinator for AmericanHort, in a conversation centered on trade, tariffs, and phytosanitary issues affecting the floriculture industry.
The series is built around conversations with the growers, leaders, and innovators shaping the future of floriculture. Episodes examine advanced technology, next-generation plants, business challenges, and changing consumer patterns, with a focus on what it really takes to grow.
In the episode, host Brian D. Sparks, Editor of Greenhouse Grower and GreenhouseGrower.com, speaks with Newberry about the trade and tariff policy shifts that have become a defining pillar of the Trump administration. Much of Newberry's work happens behind the scenes, monitoring those constant changes.
The discussion addresses how growers can make sure they have the information they need as they plan for the coming year. It also covers how AmericanHort tracks plant movement across the border and the phytosanitary issues that come with that process. According to the episode, Newberry's background in horticulture prepared him well for his current regulatory and trade policy role.
