Grower to Grower Podcast Features AmericanHort's Kamron Newberry on Trade and Tariffs

AmericanHort's regulatory and trade policy coordinator discusses tariff shifts, cross-border plant movement and phytosanitary issues facing growers.

Greenhouse Grower's Grower to Grower podcast has released an episode featuring Kamron Newberry, Regulatory and Trade Policy Coordinator for AmericanHort, in conversation with Brian D. Sparks, editor of Greenhouse Grower and GreenhouseGrower.com.

Newberry's position involves extensive work behind the scenes monitoring the constant shifts in trade and tariff policies, which the episode describes as a defining pillar of the Trump administration. In the conversation, he explains how growers can make sure they have the information they need as they plan for the coming year.

The discussion also covers how AmericanHort tracks plant movement across the border and the phytosanitary issues that accompany that trade. According to the episode, Newberry's background in horticulture prepared him well for his current role in regulatory and trade policy.

The Grower to Grower podcast is built around conversations with the growers, leaders and innovators shaping floriculture. Its subject matter ranges from advanced technology and next-generation plants to business challenges and changing consumer patterns.

The episode is available on the program's usual podcast platforms. Listeners who would like to appear as a guest, or who have someone on their growing team who would be an interesting guest, are invited to email the editor.
