Marketing


The Cooperative Grading Service offers voluntary inspection of fresh fruits and vegetables, peanuts, tree nuts, specialty and ornamental crops. The service certifies conformity or nonconformity to United States and other grades or contract specifications.

The service is provided by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. The service is available upon request to aid growers, shippers, brokers, receivers, processors, insurance adjusters or other financially interested parties in the packing and marketing of their product. Fees from the applicant make the service self-supporting.
