The Outstanding Varieties Competition offers growers from around the world the opportunity to showcase their most outstanding varieties during SAF Orlando 2022. Expert judges will rank 13 of the entrants as Best in Class, one Best in Show, and many more will be awarded blue and red ribbons (click here to review the judging guidelines!).
