To establish the Orange Juice Promotion and Production Improvements Trust Fund.
Summary
This bill, introduced in 2008, proposed creating a federal "Orange Juice Promotion and Production Improvements Trust Fund" within the U.S. Treasury. The fund would have provided government grants to U.S. organizations for the "generic promotion" of orange juice, such as advertising campaigns designed to increase overall consumer demand rather than promoting specific brands.
To receive these grants, participating organizations would have been required to match the federal funds with their own money. While the bill aimed to support the domestic citrus industry and boost production, it did not advance past the committee stage and never became law.
