The California Apple Commission

The California Apple Commission is a state marketing order in charge of conducting research in vital pre and post-harvest practice. The Commission provides unified industry voice on apple matters, assists in protecting California apple producers from harmful pests and diseases, develops, informs, and monitors standardization, and provides key apple market information to the industry.

"The California Apple Commission was consistently looking for issues related to apples whether it was pest related or trade related. In certain instances, our growers and handlers found out about situations before us because of our inability to track every news article. Meltwater News addressed and corrected that.

Meltwater News currently sends the Commission daily updates regarding the mention of key apple associated words used in any media outlet. On several occasions, Meltwater News has notified the Commission of pending news articles that in no way would have been found without this service. We utilize the Meltwater Newsfeed to better inform our constituents on the industry.

In my opinion, the value that Meltwater News provides is excellent. From the ability to provide daily emails of articles that have the Commission's interest, to the Meltwater staff that is always available and enthusiastic. I would and have recommended the services of Meltwater News."
