DEFINITION OF ORGANICALLY PRODUCED GRAPES: For the purpose of administering Marketing Order No. 925, regulating California desert grapes, organically produced grapes have been defined as those grapes produced and handled in accordance with the National Organic Program standards and labeled as “organic” or “100 percent organic” grapes.

INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS: The Federal-State Inspection Program office located in Coachella, California, is designated by the Committee as the official shipping point inspection agency. All organically produced grapes must be inspected by the agency prior to shipment for market and must meet a “U. S. NO. 1, TABLE GRAPE STANDARD” (except for size). The handler is required to deliver the grapes to the shipping point agency for inspection, or make arrangements for other inspection locations.

CONTAINER REQUIREMENTS: All grape shipments must be in new unused boxes or RPC’s, and labeled in accordance with National Organic Program regulations.

I certify that the above report is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and that I will abide by all regulations issued by the Committee in the harvest of my organically produced grapes.
