Title: Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Order 
Abstract: The Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Order (Order) would be implemented under the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996. The purpose of the new program would be to increase the consumption of processed raspberries in the United States. The proposed new program will assist the processed raspberry industry to: (1) Develop and finance an effective and coordinated program to strengthen the position of the processed raspberry industry; and (2) maintain, develop, and expand existing markets for processed raspberries. Over the last 15 years, total domestic production of raspberries delivered to processors has increased modestly while imported raspberries have surged. It is the hope of the domestic processed raspberry industry that a Research and Promotion Program will help balance the supply and demand, grow the market in the aggregate for all suppliers, and increase the consumption of processed raspberries.
