Sunkist Growers, Incorporated
Sunkist Growers, Incorporated is a citrus grower's non-stock membership cooperative comprised of 6,000 members from California and Arizona.
History
It was formed in 1893 as the Southern California Fruit Exchange; by 1905, the group represented 5,000 members, 45% of the California citrus industry, and renamed itself the California Fruit Growers Exchange. It adopted the "Sunkist" name in 1908 for its highest quality oranges, and so was the first to brand fruit.
Soft drink
Sunkist is also a brand of orange-flavored soft drink produced by Cadbury-Schweppes under license from Sunkist Growers; see Sunkist (soft drink).
