WASHINGTON TREE FRUIT RESEARCH COMMISSION

About WASHINGTON TREE FRUIT RESEARCH COMMISSION

The Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission (WTFRC), founded in 1969, represents tree fruit producers in Washington state. Our mission is to help find science-based solutions for the numerous challenges that face Washington apple, cherry, pear, and stone fruit growers and packers. We seek to provide a dynamic interface between academia and industry and to foster communication and interactions that benefit both communities. To support research, extension efforts and Washington tree fruit sustainability, we collect and expend approximately $4.5 million annually from our growers’ assessments. One of our key functions is to engage with industry to determine research priorities based on stakeholder needs. More info: www.treefruitresearch.org
