USA: Marketing Order for California Prune Board Renewed Through 2030
Following a successful public hearing and comment period, the California Prune Board has been reauthorized by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for another five years through July 31, 2030. Operating under a marketing order, the program is funded through mandatory assessments from California prune growers and handlers, with activities directed by an industry-elected board under CDFA oversight. The marketing order guides strategic promotion, research, and issue management initiatives designed to strengthen the position of California prunes in the global marketplace.
