The California Strawberry Commission was enacted by enabling legislation and a referendum of farmers and handlers in 1993. The Commission succeeds the California Strawberry Advisory Board established in 1955. State marketing orders and commissions are formed by legislation which authorizes self-taxation by farmers. This self-assessment funds Commission activities and projects.

Strawberry Commission activities fall into five major areas: food safety, production and nutrition research, trade relations, public relations and public policy.

Activities are developed, approved and implemented under the authority of the Commission’s committees, with final approval provided by the Commissioners. This committee structure ensures that the activities of the Commission are thoroughly considered and enacted in the best interest of the industry. The Commission also has public members to ensure that programs advance the greater interest of the community.

California is the nation’s leading producer of strawberries. In 2008, growers harvested nearly 1.8 billion pounds of strawberries, which accounted for 86 percent of the country’s total fresh and frozen strawberry production. The coast of California has a unique environment. Its western ocean exposure provides moderate temperatures year round with warm sunny days and cool foggy nights — the perfect combination for growing delicious, beautiful strawberries!

Value 
The value of the California strawberry crop is approximately $2.1 billion. According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, strawberries are the seventh most valuable fruit crop produced in California.

Myron L Meters is proud to do business with the California Strawberry Commission.
