SUMMARY: A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Genuine Mississippi Agricultural Market Complex on a 153-acre site off Highway 18 in Brandon, Rankin County. This facility will include retail space modeled after a town square, along with supply, storage, and distribution services aimed at enhancing local food security. Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gipson emphasized the importance of food security to both the state and the nation. The complex is expected to benefit local farmers by increasing market opportunities and providing fresh produce to consumers. The project will also offer job training, improve wellness, and is anticipated to attract tourism. Slated for completion in 2027 or 2028, plans for replicating this complex in other state regions are already underway.
