About Us / Purpose of the WRRC

 

The Washington Red Raspberry Commission (WRRC) was formed in 1976 to support and promote the raspberry industry. We are comprised of 11 grower board members who oversee programs that facilitate cultural and harvesting improvements, and regulate unfair trade practices within the industry.

We establish promotion plans and conduct programs for advertising, sales, promotion, and/or other programs for maintaining present markets and/or creating new or larger markets for raspberries. The Board also provides for research in the production and processing of raspberries.

There are over 40 different suppliers of red raspberry products who make up the Washington Red Raspberry Commission. Each company is committed to growing, harvesting and processing the highest quality berries in the world, and meeting the most stringent quality standards on the planet.

Our growers and processors are spread throughout southern Canada, the western part of Washington state and northern Oregon.
