Pricing Peaches
Since its inception, the California Canning Peach Association has been the acknowledged leader and innovator in cling peach bargaining and marketing. Each year brings its own set of problems and each year growers work together through the Association to arrive at constructive solutions.
Through raw product price establishment, the CCPA ensures stability in the industry and protects the value of a crop that growers have invested thousands of dollars planting, tending and harvesting. The Association strives to secure a price and home for every peach grown by its member-growers. Often, this means the creation of special marketing programs and the expansion into new markets.
