The Need for a Coalition

California Apricot and California Cling Peach Growers have joined forces to bring you, our valued dietetic and foodservice friends, greater recipe and nutritional resources, and to ask for your support.

We share in your challenges. The apricot and peach grower organizations know your industries face a number of "battles"—from childhood obesity, to adult-onset diabetes, to everyday challenges such as making five-a-day a daily reality. And our fruit industries, nutritional allies in your challenges, face equally daunting issues to protect our American agriculture and the generations-old family farms. With your cooperation, our coalition can take one step toward mitigating our collective challenges.

Over the years, we have heard from thousands of you about the importance of our products, specifically the nutrition, taste, convenience and household-friendly price of our summer-fresh canned fruits. Together, we share in the knowledge that consumers value quick and easy fruit solutions.

Now more than ever, nutrition leaders can use this common knowledge to shore up some of our nation's dietary shortcomings/gaps, while protecting our country's American Orchard Heritage and ultimately, the security of our national food supply. Together, our voices can make a greater nutritional impact.
