Advocating for Our Growers
Internationally, California citrus exports account for nearly $850 million of the industry’s $3 billion in sales and 30 percent of total annual revenues.

California Citrus Mutual works closely with the U.S. Congress, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of Agriculture including the Foreign Agricultural Service, the Department of State, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Food and Drug Administration, on tariff and trade barrier reduction, Free Trade Agreements and other international issues.
We are a longtime standing member of USDA’s Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee on Trade and frequently partner with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services to resolve phytosanitary issues.
