Cranberry sales have traditionally been associated with the United States holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas.As early as 1904, John Gaynor, a Wisconsin grower, and A.Chaney, a fruit broker from Des Moines, Iowa, organized Wisconsin growers into a cooperative called the Wisconsin Cranberry Sales Company to receive a uniform price from buyers.Competition between canners was fierce because profits were thin.The percentage may be slightly higher in Canada than in the U.Flemming announced that some of the 1959 crop was tainted with traces of the herbicide aminotriazole.The market for cranberries collapsed and growers lost millions of dollars.After the aminotriazole scare, Ocean Spray reorganized and spent substantial sums on product development.The order has been renewed and modified slightly in subsequent years, but it has allowed for more stable marketing.Even though supply still slightly exceeds demand, there is little will to invoke the Federal Marketing Order out of the realization that any pullback in supply by U.Prices and production increased steadily during the 1980s and 1990s.The cause for the preciptous drop was classic oversupply.Production had outpaced consumption leading to substantial inventory in freezers or as concentrate.Cranberry handlers (processors) include Ocean Spray, Cliffstar, Inc.Search on cranberries for raw cranberry nutrient composition.Madison
