Market Inspections

The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) provides voluntary inspections when a farmer, shipper or other financially interested party would like to verify that the quality of their produce shipment meets USDA standards. The NDA currently provides avocado, tomato, onion, grapefruit, oranges and lime inspections, with plans to expand to other commodities. 


If you would like to request an inspection, please fill out the SC 237 Request for Inspection, and email to the appropriate contact below:
