The League's voluntary
membership is comprised of approximately 350 growers, shippers
and associated groups from throughout California. A diverse number
of perishable crops are represented within the membership - peaches,
apples, apricots, plums, cherries, pears, figs, table grapes,
nectarines, kiwifruit, quince and persimmons.
The mission of the
California Grape & Tree Fruit League is to identify and address
issues that directly impact the grape and tree fruit industries
and to fulfill the needs of its membership while maintaining a
viable organization in this endeavor. Today's organization, based
in Fresno, California, addresses many diverse issues that affect
California agriculture, including such matters as environmental
resources, farm labor, marketing, packaging, pesticides, standardization,
taxation, trade, and transportation.
