"If you are not sustainably certified, you are cutting your marketability close to in half." "A lot of our buyers are requiring certification. And if they don't require it, they're suddenly asking at the end of harvest, 'Oh, did they have a certification?' If the answer is 'no,' well, now you may be on the chopping block or not be able to get your fruit re-signed." - Audra Cooper, Turrentine Brokerage
