About the Washington Red Raspberry Commission

The Washington Red Raspberry Commission (WRRC) was formed in 1976 to support and promote the raspberry industry.

We are comprised of 9 grower board members who oversee programs that facilitate cultural and harvesting improvements and regulate unfair trade practices within the industry. 

We establish promotion plans and conduct programs for advertising, sales, promotion and other programs for maintaining present markets and creating new or larger markets for raspberries. The Board also provides for research in the production and processing of raspberries.

There are about 20 different suppliers of red raspberry products who make up the Washington Red Raspberry Commission.

Each company is committed to growing, harvesting and processing the highest quality berries in the world, and meeting the most stringent quality standards on the planet.

Our growers and processors are spread throughout southern Canada, the western part of Washington state and northern Oregon

10-Year Strategic Plan

The purpose of this strategic plan is to establish clear goals, objectives and strategies to help the Washington Red Raspberry Commission achieve its mission and work toward its vision over the next 10 years. The Commission will formally evaluate its progress against this plan annually, and in 2026, the organization will conduct a landscape analysis to determine if a major planning process is needed again at that time.
