Richard Bagdasarian & Co. joined the League in 1952. Since that time we have been actively involved in the League, its efforts on behalf of the industry, and many of its programs. We value the League as a resource on a variety of subjects and appreciate having a collective, unified voice in Sacramento and Washingon, DC. The benefits we've received from the League have been well worth the time and money our firm has put into the association.

Venida Packing Inc.
Exeter, California

As a rather small grower, packer and shipper, we rely heavily on the League to take a proactive approach to industry issues. Whether in Washington or Sacramento dealing with the Medfly, transportation, market access, pesticides or any other myriad of issues, the League is the voice of our industry, and without it, we'd be seriously, negatively impacted.

The League has provided leadership and incomparable services to the Giumarra Companies and to the grape and tree fruit industries for over 60 years. Many critical industry issues are successfully managed by the League in an effective and professional manner. The power of this industry has been skillfully harnessed and directed by the League to achieve positive benefits for growers with results that no individual company could achieve.

The League is the only representative of California deciduous tree fruit and table grape grower-shipper needs. The other major organizations are broader based. The League's membership is the most insightful and progressive group I have ever been involved with. As profit margins shrink, our only chance is to join together to promote the policies we need to have access to the markets we require to remain viable.
