Background:
The Cal/Med Consortium was established in December of 2005 to
initiate, coordinate, and disseminate research on relevant economic
issues related to key commodity groups that have traditionally
been understudied and yet contribute significantly to the economies
of California and the southern EU countries. These commodities
include: olives and olive oil; tree nuts; grapes and wine; raisins;
vegetables - processed and fresh; citruses - processed and fresh,
and stone fruits. The formal name of the project is “Policies
and Economics of Mediterranean Agriculture Products in the Global
Marketplace” but for ease of communication, it is referred
to as the “Cal/Med Consortium.”
