Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke about Florida agriculture and strawberries while attending the Strawberry Festival Parade Day Luncheon in Plant City.

The press conference began at 11:25 a.m. on Monday at the Hillsborough Community College Plant City Campus.

Florida State Attorney General Ashley Moody joined DeSantis during this press conference.

Moody briefly spoke about how positive an impact DeSantis had made on the state while reminiscing about her experiences with the annual festival.

She then shifted attention toward DeSantis, who began to speak about how robust the strawberry industry is and how impactful it is for the Florida economy.

DeSantis then jokingly spoke about the strawberry-related merchandise he would purchase during his trip to the festival.

DeSantis then brought up the timeless debate of what should be the state dessert of Florida: key lime pie or strawberry shortcake.

He then concluded his short appearance by talking about how people from across the country continue to move to Florida to support the policies enacted during his administration.
