The California Grape & Tree Fruit League (CGTFL) is a voluntary, nonprofit agricultural trade association that represents table grapes and deciduous tree fruit grown in California. CGTFL is the key public policy organization that represents the needs and interests of the table grape and tree fruit industries by advocating on behalf of its members on legislative and regulatory issues, at state, federal, and international levels.

Through the daily presence of the League’s representatives in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., the organization actively monitors legislative and regulatory activity on such issues as farm labor, crop protection materials, marketing requirements, environmental resources, trade, packaging, transportation and other issues of importance.

The League is one of the oldest agricultural trade associations in California, with its origins dating back to 1911 when the California Growers and Shippers Protective League was formed by tree fruit growers in Northern California.

The League’s membership is comprised of approximately 300 members, including growers, shippers, and marketers of table grapes and deciduous tree fruit, and it also includes associates members who are indirectly involved with these commodities (for example, labeling equipment, container/packaging suppliers, commodity groups). The membership is primarily located in the San Joaquin Valley, though there are members located as far north as Lake County and as far south as Coachella Valley. The League-represented commodities include apricots, apples, cherries, figs, kiwis, nectarines, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, quince, and table grapes.
