Sunkist Growers, Inc.
 PROFILE
Perhaps the US enterprise least susceptible to an outbreak of scurvy, Sunkist Growers is a cooperative owned by 6,500 citrus farmers in California and Arizona. Sunkist markets fresh oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines in the US and overseas. Fruit that doesn't meet fresh market standards is turned into juices, oils, and peels for use in food products. The Sunkist brand is one of the most recognized names in the US; through licensing agreements, the name appears on dozens of beverages and other products, from vitamins to fruit rolls, in more than 55 countries. Most of the company's sales come from US customers. Sunkist's biggest export customers are Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
