Citrus marketing cooperative Sunkist Growers, Valencia, Calif., recently had its 125th annual meeting.

Russ Hanlin, president and CEO, reviewed the season’s results at the March 20 meeting, noting that Sunkist saw “manageable sized high-quality crops that resulted in solid grower returns,” according to a news release.

“We are privileged to serve our 2,000 grower members and proud to provide high-quality, healthy citrus they produce to customers and consumers around the globe,” Hanlin said in the release. “Our goal is to provide profitable returns through efficiencies in crop management along with synchronized sales and marketing strategies.”

Gerald Denni was re-elected chairman of Sunkist’s board of directors.

“As a cooperative that has been in existence for just over 125 years, we have a wealth of history and knowledge that has been passed down for generations, and we will use those tools to address each season’s unique set of challenges.”
