The 1989 meetings focused on fruits, vegetables, other specialty commodities, and farm labor reports. The Agricultural Marketing Service joined the Economic Agencies in this year’s meetings. The material presented in this report is a summary of the major points presented at each session. No attempt was made to capture verbatim comments. All answers and subsequent discussion based on remarks by a particular speaker are shown by indentations.

自1978年以来，隶属于经济助理部长的各机构几乎每年都会举办此类用户意见听取会议。历次会议已梳理出多项改进方案，并将其纳入现行报告与研究计划之中。1989年的本次会议聚焦水果、蔬菜、其他特种农产品以及农业劳动力相关报告议题。本年度会议首次吸纳农业市场服务局（Agricultural Marketing Service）与各经济机构共同参与。
