J&K Fresh, the US customs brokerage company specialising in the clearance of imported produce, has sponsored a tour of the Los Angeles-Long Beach Seaport for a group of students from California State University, Fresno.
The students are majoring in agriculture with a desire to learn about all aspects of the produce industry.
Marcel van Dijk, cargo marketing manager for the Port of Los Angeles narrated the tour, with the students offered an opportunity to see the port operations up close and personal, learning about sailing times, refrigerated containers, and automated terminals.
The tour was followed by lunch, where Lynnette Keffer, CEO of J&K Fresh, explained the import process for produce and how a Customs Broker facilitates the clearance through US customs and border protection, food and drug, including food safety, and agriculture quarantine.
