Our Members
Our members are citrus growers. Collectively they grow oranges, lemons, mandarins, and grapefruit across roughly 250,000 acres in California. They provide Californian’s and the world with the highest quality fresh citrus, are a critical economic sector for our rural communities, and provide ladders of opportunities for their hard working employees and their families.
Our History
California Citrus Mutual was founded by growers in 1977 as a non-profit trade association and is headquartered in Exeter, California. These growers understood that a collective and cohesive voice would help them overcome the significant challenges that faced the industry at the time. Over the years, our mission has expanded to meet the changing needs of the industry. Watch the video below to learn how California Citrus Mutual got its start from some of the people who were there.
