Congressional Cranberry Caucus

Information

Organization's Own Description:

On June 6, 2012, the entire cranberry industry, including Ocean Spray and several cranberry industry groups – including the Cranberry Institute, the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association and the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association – attended the inaugural meeting of the Congressional Cranberry Caucus on Capitol Hill. The Caucus is ongoing and serves as a platform to educate Members of Congress, their staffs, and federal agencies about cranberry production across the United States. Specifically, the Caucus aims to address conservation, environmental, and nutritional benefits and concerns, along with issues surrounding the international trade of cranberries. As one of the first acts of the Caucus, 11 members of Congress representing cranberry growing and manufacturing regions signed a letter to the USDA urging the inclusion of cranberry juice and dried cranberry products in the USDA’s food and nutrition programs.
