The Raisin Cartels – Gambling the Future | 3

In the midst of their heated negotiations over the price of raisins, the CEO of Sun-Maid and the head of the Raisin Bargaining Association face off, each making their pitch about the state of the raisin industry and the road forward. It’s the first time the two men have been able to appeal directly to the farmers themselves. The farmers must decide whether to follow Sun-Maid’s plan for a lower price for their raisins but a more robust market overall — or stand by the R.B.A. and a higher price for raisins. Their choice will shape the raisin market for decades to come.
