The Citrus Research Program—officially, the California Citrus Improvement Program—is the grower–funded and grower–directed program established in 1968 under the California Marketing Act as the mechanism enabling the State’s citrus producers to sponsor and support needed research. The program is administered by the Citrus Research Board, which is better known in the industry as simply "CRB".
There are three components to the Program:
- General Research
- Quality Assurance (CCQC)
- Variety Improvement and Registration (CCPP)
