The California Citrus Growers Association (CCGA) is a grower-owned and grower-operated marketing agency in common, organized under the laws of the State of California and compliant with the federal Capper-Volstead Act.
• While recognizing the highly competitive nature of the citrus industry, the purpose of CCGA is to bring producers together to share information and better coordinate the most efficient ways to market their fruit in a manner that, at a minimum, assures recovery of the growers' cost of production;
• By working together, producers can better control the quality and consistency of the fruit brought to market to maximize customer and consumer satisfaction;
• Improved quality of delivered product can be achieved by producers steadfastly subscribing to self-imposed higher standards including improved ratios and solids, elimination of substandard or inferior fruit, and timing delivery of product to best meet actual market demand;
• Membership in CCGA presently
constitutes approximately 85-90
percent of the California citrus
industry
• Growing fresh orange demand is
critical to the long-term viability
of the industry. CCGA members
contribute approximately $2 million
each year toward generic
advertising.
