Pending results and submission of a marketing agreement for the approval of citrus growers by the US Department of Agriculture following the close of Federal hearings in Los Angeles April 29, a possible solution to the marketing problem was revived today in the form of a new order and agreement covering the movement of oranges in fresh fruit channels and based upon grade regulations instead of volume. The new order, described in a recent article in “Citrus Leaves,” the Mutual Orange Distributors’ magazine had previously been presented to the Growers Advisory Committee of the California and Arizona Orange-Grapefruit agency about the time that hearings on the proposed Federal marketing agreement were to open. It was decided, for this reason, that full content of the plan would not be make public until after the Federal hearings. However, pertinent facts concerning the new order were produced at the government forum and portions of its regulations introduced as an amendment to the proposed Federal order. NEW MEASURE Proponents of the new measure, as a solution to the volume proration deadlock, contend that it would improve the quality of oranges offered consumers, and this increase demand and result in better profits to the growers. Meanwhile following final testimony before government officials, and while growers await the Federal proposal, opinion is divided into two groups, namely, those favoring shipment regulation, the stand taken by the California Fruit Growers exchange; and those who favor no restriction, the contention of the Mutual Orange Distributors: A statement from each, made up after the hearings, follows: FOR REGULATION 1. The California Fruit Growers exchange favors orderly regulation of interstate orange shipments from California and Arizona by a grower committee representing all marketing groups in the industry. 2. Weekly volume regulation of orange shipments to be marketed in continental United States and Canada. In such a program shipments would not be the same each week, but varieties — all of the fruit of each variety is mature and available for shipment from six weeks to two months after the season starts for the particular variety in any district of the two states. This gives opportunity for the market to be flooded at any time and if too much is shipped at once the consumer would suffer from resulting shortages later. OPPOSE PROATION FOR REGULATION 1. The California Fruit Growers exchange favors orderly regulation of interstate orange shipments from California and Arizona by a grower committee representing all marketing groups in the industry. 2. Weekly volume regulation of orange shipments to be marketed in continental United States and Canada. In such a program shipments would not be the same each week, but would be adjusted to conditions of supply and demand. 3. To provide for handling supplies of oranges beyond the demand of the fresh fruit market, which may occur in some future season, an equitable diversion program is recommended. The plan would assure more economical use of by-products facilities throughout the industry and would avoid what might otherwise be a loss of fruit because of irregular supplies to products outlets thus preventing a full utilization of their facilities. This plan should also assure the consumer's receiving better fruit, inasmuch as the less desirable grades and sizes would be utilized for uses other than fresh fruit. 4. In the proposed marketing program the exchange recommends flexibility which is required in order to permit the proper use of picking, packing house and transportation facilities. For example, even though a small shipper's allotment during any week may be less than a car, he would be permitted to ship a full car in order to take advantages of carlot freight. This overshipment would be deducted from the succeeding week's allotment. 5. The proposed program does not mean than any edible fruit for which there is a reasonable market would be diverted from the fresh fruit market. It simply means dividing the market throughout the entire year to give each grower and handler his proper opportunity to market his share of the crop. This also assures the consumer of a more constant supply of desirable fruit at reasonable prices. In the case of navel and valencia oranges — the two principal varieties — all of the fruit of each variety is mature and available for shipment from six weeks to two months after the season starts for the particular variety in any district of the two states. This gives opportunity for the market to be flooded at any time and if too much is shipped at once the consumer would suffer from resulting shortages later. OPPOSE PROACTION 1. The Mutual Orange Distributors contend that there is no need for volume proration of Interstate shipments of California oranges since the period of emergency is past, buying power of the public is better, citrus fodds are recognized as an essential food product and marketing agencies are in a position to sense the trend of consumer demand. 2. That if any marketing system is adopted, it should be nationwide in scope and include Florida and Texas. 3. That if any market system is adopted, it should be on a grade instead of a volume basis. 4. That serious inequities existed under the old volume proration plan and the MOD. witnesses offered remedies if volume proration is to be adopted. 5. That since it is the growers investment at stake, the growers should be permitted to vote by secret ballot on any proposed marketing agreement controlling the movement and destinies of his fruit. 6. That war conditions automatically are restricting and will still further restrict the movement of fruits for market and automatically promote them. 7. That there has been a more orderly flow of fruit to market without proration than there was during the eight years such a plan was in effect. 8. That there should be more districts recognized and that by recognizing the varying maturity dates in the districts, it is possible to move quality fruit in considerable volume without overleading the market and that proration, if adopted, would be on the seasonal basis instead of a weekly basis. 10 MONTHS NOTICE!
