SUPPLY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ALTERNATIVES FOR THE TART CHERRY INDUSTRY

Donald L. Hinman and Donald J. Ricks

Journal of Food Distribution Research, 1992, vol. 23, issue 01, 12

Abstract: Two interrelated supply problems facing the tart cherry industry are long-run cyclical patterns in industry productive capacity and substantial annual supply fluctuations. Following the termination of a federal marketing order in effect for 14 years, the industry has considered a number of other supply management options. None have been adopted on a broad industry basis. Recent proposals involved formation of a multi-state supply management cooperative and use of a state marketing order in Michigan. Annual supply management alternatives include reserve pool, market allocation, and non-harvest. An orchard removal incentive program was proposed to reduce industry productive capacity.
