Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association
Fruit and vegetable production in Georgia is valued in excess of $579 million at the farm gate. As the state's number two cash crop, most Georgia fruits and vegetables are grown for the fresh market to be sold and consumed in other states. This brings new money into Georgia communities, with an impact of over $1.7 billion to Georgia's economy.
The mission of GFVGA is: 1. To provide a viable and united voice to represent the fruit and vegetable industry in Georgia. 2. To encourage efficient production, packing, handling, storing and processing of fruits and vegetables. 3. To develop marketing and promotional programs to increase public awareness of the health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables and to encourage consumption of more Georgia products. 4. To support applied research that benefits the industry.
