Solving the Californian Citrus Industry's Production and Marketing Problems

摘要

A steady supply of fruit that meets the quality requirements of target markets is critical for the success of any fruit industry, Considering the fact that pre harvest as well as post harvest factors affect quality, the California citrus industry established a self-taxation program many years ago which generates funds to support pre harvest and post harvest research and funds to support the objectives of the California Citrus Quality Council (CCQC) and California's Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP). Funding decisions are made by California's Citrus Research Board (CRB), which is composed of 11 people from various segments of California's citrus industry.
