-Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., a Grower-Owned cooperative, announced today its latest crop estimate for the 2016 cranberry harvest
“Our Cooperative of family farms and the cranberry industry as a whole continues to grow by consistently delivering a high quality crop,” shared Dan Crocker, VP of Cooperative Development and Global Ingredients. “As a cooperative, Ocean Spray is focused on selling that crop by growing demand for our Grower-Owner’s fruit through both new product innovation and continuing to introduce the cranberry to new markets, geographies, and consumers worldwide.”
Ocean Spray Grower-Owners are located throughout all cranberry growing regions including Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin, as well as British Columbia, Eastern Canada (Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia) and Chile. Regionally, Ocean Spray expects Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Quebec to experience significantly larger crops than 2015 with all other growing regions remaining steady. The Cooperative wrapped up the South American harvest in June with Ocean Spray receiving just under half a million barrels of fruit in Chile.
