RAISIN INDUSTRY SURVEY

The RAC is considering potential adjustments to their current activities and structure based on research, industry trends, stakeholder feedback, and consumer insights.

We are conducting a representative survey of growers and packers to gain perspective concerning the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to the industry. Upon gathering this information, we will provide recommendations for the 2026-2030 strategic priorities, building a fundamental organizational framework. We plan to highlight areas for innovation and actionable goals to drive growth and profitability of the U.S. raisin industry.

Your input will play an integral role in this endeavor. We thank you kindly for taking part in this survey!
