* While recognizing the highly competitive nature of the citrus industry, the purpose of CCGA is to bring producers together to share information and better coordinate the most efficient ways to market their fruit in a manner that, at a minimum, assures recovery of the growers' cost of production;
* By working together, producers can better control the quality and consistency of the fruit brought to market to maximize customer and consumer satisfaction;
* Improved quality of delivered product can be achieved by producers steadfastly subscribing to self-imposed higher standards including improved ratios and solids, elimination of substandard or inferior fruit, and timing delivery of product to best meet actual market demand;
* CCGA represents the majority of the California citrus industry.
* Growing fresh orange demand is critical to the long-term viability of the industry. CCGA members contribute approximately $2 million each year toward generic advertising.</description><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jan 2010 23:13:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Alstyle Apparel</title> <link> http://www.alstyle.com</link><description>Alstyle Apparel&#8482; is an industry leader designing, manufacturing and distributing high-quality apparel for adults, juniors and youth in a wide variety of styles, colors, and fabrics to fit every need.

In 1955, the first of 3 packinghouses owned by Johnston Farms was built and is still operated as a potato packinghouse by the Johnston family.
Citrus was added to the operation with the first Navel orange grove planted in 1963, followed by Satsuma Mandarins in the early 1970's and Red Grapefruit in the 1980's. The citrus packinghouse was added in 1983 and it now packs approximately 1,000,000 cartons of citrus from November to May every year.
