USDA buying cranberries due to oversupply, Report

USDA buying cranberries to stabilize prices, The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approving up to $55 million nationwide to purchase up to 68 million pounds of surplus cranberry products, a move that federal lawmakers say will provide stability to Washington state cranberry growers.

The program, which is funded through customs receipts, will then distribute those products to food pantries.

“In a state that depends on agriculture to support hundreds of thousands of jobs and communities small and large, it’s essential that we provide our growers with the tools and resources they need to continue to succeed,” Baldwin said. “The USDA’s cranberry purchase will support cranberry growers at a time when the markets are especially tough.”
