- failrate 10y agoMaybe we should eat more turnips and string beans?
- jonah 10y agoAbsolutely. These campaigns are all the products of Agriculture Marketing Boards[1] and are generally state-based. They're cooperative marketing agencies which growers and producers belong to to collectively promote their generic product. See also the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service[2]. Idaho Potatoes: https://idahopotato.com https://idahopotato.com California Walnuts: https://www.walnuts.org https://www.walnuts.org California Almonds: http://www.almonds.com http://www.almonds.com California Raisins: http://calraisins.org http://calraisins.org / http://raisins.org http://raisins.org are a few of the domestic ones I've worked with over the years. EDIT: Here's a list of all the official California Agricultural Marketing Programs[3] Speaking of foreign avocados, in addition to Mexico, Chile grows and exports a lot to the US. Of of their interesting arguments is that being in the Southern Hemisphere, their crop is counter-seasonal to our domestic avos. http://avocadosfromchile.org http://avocadosfromchile.org [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_board [2] https://www.ams.usda.gov https://www.ams.usda.gov [3] https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/mkt/mkt/pdf/ProgramContactInformation.pdf https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/mkt/mkt/pdf/ProgramContactInformatio...
