Mission
Our mission is to advocate for American apple growers and their industry partners to promote the profitable production and marketing of apples and apple products.
Program accomplishments
- Advocacy and Government Relations: The Association represents the U.S. apple industry's interests on federal policy issues by voicing the industry's views to Congress and the Executive Branch on issues including: labor, environmental issues, food safety, trade, research, and regulations. We also work to resolve industry concerns by: working with the Agriculture Department, U.S. Trade Representative, Environmental Protection Agency and Food and Drug Administration; activating a network of apple advocates nationwide to support legislative goals; and working with other produce and agricultural groups in coalitions to achieve mutual interests.
- Communications & Health Initiatives: The Association's communications program supports the organization's advocacy efforts, while creating and strengthening signature health and consumer initiatives. Harnessing the latest in apple-related nutrition research, the organization educates consumers about the many health benefits of eating apples.
- Membership and Industry Information: We are a member-driven association that represents all segments of the apple industry, including growers, packers, shippers, marketers, processors, suppliers, state/regional associations and other businesses engaged in the industry.We serve as a resource center for the apple industry and key audiences by providing information to members, media, federal government and the general public. Some of these are: Apple Bites, a bi-weekly summary of news for and about the apple industry; Market News, crop storage and movement reports published from November through June; and the Apple Crop Outlook & Marketing Conference and other meeting/networking opportunities.
- NextGen Apple Fellowship Program: USApple invests in our industry's future with leadership opportunities for our rising members. The program focuses on providing fellows with professional and leadership development, one-on-one mentoring and hands-on advocacy.Each year, a new class of NextGen fellows is selected to participate in USApple's annual Capitol Hill Day in Washington, DC, and Outlook Conference, engaging with key influencers and other apple leaders.
- TreeTAC: Formed in 2001 by the Association and the Northwest Horticultural Council (NHC), the Tree-Fruit Technical Advisory Council (TreeTAC) is a coalition designed to safeguard the U.S. tree fruit industry from pest and disease threats. While the Association and NHC continue to maintain TreeTAC's organizational structure to address future technical or quarantine emergencies, active committee operations were reduced due to a decreased immediate need for technical intervention. Consequently, the Association remitted the majority of the designated TreeTAC funds back to the contributing organizations, retaining a small reserve for future contingencies as mutually determined by the Presidents of USApple and NHC.
