Perennial crop industries have tried different approaches and have had different experiences in attempting to balance supply and demand. Three crops (tart cherries, almonds, and raisins) were selected for comparative analysis of actual and potential roles of various vertical market coordination institutions in improving subsector supply-demand balance.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Perennial crop industries have tried different approaches and have had different experiences in attempting to balance supply and demand. Three crops (tart cherries, almonds, and raisins) were selected for comparative analysis of actual and potential roles of various vertical market coordination institutions in improving subsector supply-demand balance.
520 $a Two significant problems complicate the coordination of supplies with demand in perennial crop subsectors: (1) short-run problems due to annual fluctuations in supplies and (2) long-run challenges relating to substantial overplanting that can result in persistent overproduction. The combination of inelastic demand and annual supply fluctuations results in wide price fluctuations for some commodities.
520 $a Types of cooperatives and alternative marketing strategies employed by cooperatives were investigated. Committed integrated marketing cooperatives (CIMCs) in the almond and raisin subsectors market a significant portion of member production through strong national branded consumer products. In their roles as food manufacturers, these CIMCs work through their brand position to influence consumer demand and retailer merchandising. They have the ability to significantly influence the demand side in order to help balance subsector supply and demand. A committed commodity marketing cooperative (CCMC) lacks a strong national brand franchise, but focuses on selling large volumes of processed products to food manufacturers and the food service industry along with retaining a commitment to being a reliable supplier of a commodity such as tart cherries.
520 $a Long run supply-demand balancing approaches that were investigated included approaches to reduce acreage when overplanting had occurred and to avoid overplanting. Raisin acreage reduction has been accomplished to some degree through the Raisin Diversion Program (RDP) as part of the raisin marketing order. An orchard removal incentive program for tart cherries was proposed but never implemented.
520 $a Supply management programs were analyzed, with emphasis on federal marketing orders. Three main types of supply management provisions of federal marketing orders are commonly implemented to mitigate the consequences of annual supply fluctuations. Reserve pools address the problem of annual supply fluctuation through storing a portion of grower deliveries in large-crop years and releasing some or all of the storage reserve in short-crop years. Market allocation provides another stabilization approach by removing excess product in large crop years from the designated major markets. The third set of provisions, non-production or non-harvest diversion, provides additional flexibility in managing excess supplies. A major contribution has been to alleviate some of the negative consequences of supply instability by helping to promote increased sales and to prevent erosion of demand through more stable commodity supplies.
520 $a Supply management provisions of the federal marketing orders have also helped dampen price declines in large crop years, thus mitigating the negative impact on growers. Econometric models of the tart cherry and almond industries were developed to estimate the impact on grower prices of implementing a federal marketing order in each of those two subsectors. Estimated price impacts were substantial in some years of marketing order implementation (up to a 20% difference in grower prices for tart cherries), but impacts were moderate in other years.
