Existing law provides that the terms "California grown," "California-grown," and similar terms with identical connotations shall be used in the labeling or advertising of agricultural products, and authorizes the use of those terms for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes, only to identify food or agricultural products that have been produced in the state or harvested in its surface or coastal waters. This bill would state legislative findings regarding the marketing of California-grown agricultural commodities within this state. The bill would also state that all state-owned and state-run institutions are encouraged to purchase fruits, nuts, and vegetables that are produced, or produced and processed, in California before those that are produced outside of the state, as long as the price quoted for the California-produced products does not exceed the lowest bid or price quoted for an out-of-state product.
