The proposed legislation establishes the "Ethnic Produce Task Force" within the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, consisting of nine members appointed by the Governor, President of the Senate, and Speaker of the General Assembly. The task force will include representatives from the New Jersey Restaurant and Hospitality Association, the New Jersey Farm Bureau, the State Board of Agriculture, retail grocery stores, and individuals active in the food processing industry. The Secretary of Agriculture will appoint a chairperson, and the task force will also elect a vice-chairperson. Members will serve without compensation, and the task force is required to convene at least three times and organize within three months of a majority of appointments.

The task force's primary responsibilities include studying the demand for ethnic produce in New Jersey, identifying which types can be grown locally, and determining businesses that require such produce. Additionally, it will publicize the benefits of using fresh, locally grown ethnic produce, develop strategies to increase sales and consumption, and provide recommendations to farmers. A report detailing these findings and recommendations will be submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture and shared with the Legislature. The task force will operate until 30 days after the submission of its report.
