The document outlines the steps needed to obtain and maintain Global Market Access (GMA) certification to export organic lemons. It discusses applying for initial organic certification with CCOF and then a GMA application. An audit trail and documents confirming supplier certification are also required. Maintaining certification requires importer certification in countries like Japan along with third party screening, separate commodity certifications, and annual audits. Challenges include risks of fumigation destroying organic status and lack of supply to meet customer demand for perfection at low prices. Resources for certification are provided.

God loves us unconditionally and sent his son Jesus to die for our sins so that we may be forgiven and spend eternity in heaven with God. The Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory, but God offers the free gift of salvation and eternal life through believing in Jesus. To receive this gift, one must admit they are a sinner, understand that death is the consequence of sin, but through Jesus's sacrifice we can be saved. One simply needs to call upon the name of the Lord with their mouth and heart to believe in order to receive forgiveness and salvation.

Who benefits from rapidly increasing Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS)...
This document summarizes a study on the benefits of Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) for coffee producers in Ethiopia. The study finds that:
1) Certified coffee exports in Ethiopia make up a small share of total exports, around 5-6% in recent years.
2) Coffee producers receive a small price premium of 0.80 US cents/lb for certified red cherries, equivalent to about $7.50-20 more annual income per producer.
3) However, only one-third of the overall 13.7 US cents/lb export premium is transmitted to producers, with the rest going to overhead costs, cooperative investments, and debt repayment.

This document provides tips for small organic farms to market and sell their products to local small stores and restaurants. It recommends farms get to know their business and seasonal products, then introduce themselves to potential buyers with a letter highlighting their farm story and sustainability practices. When meeting with chefs, farms should understand the chef's needs and menu, discuss seasonal products, and build relationships by answering questions about quality, pricing, and delivery logistics to establish an ongoing business partnership. The key is for farms to find chefs who share their values of local, organic, and seasonal ingredients.

Jeff Biddle discusses grocery store distribution and introducing new produce products. There are three tiers of grocery distribution: national chains that work with very large growers, regional buying offices for large and medium chains, and store-level buying at all chains. When introducing a new product, make an appointment, bring samples, provide details on volume, pricing, packaging and season, know the competition, highlight what makes your product unique, and have required documents. Follow up after the meeting, be accessible, differentiate your product, form a partnership with the store to understand needs before and after selling, respond to customer feedback, educate buyers, and celebrate successes together.

Ron Strolic organic marketing barriers
This document summarizes a study on improving markets for small and mid-sized organic growers in California. The study found that marketing is a major challenge for most farmers, with issues like volume fluctuations, lack of price premiums, and accessing markets. Buyers also face challenges obtaining consistent supply from smaller farms. The document recommends farmers compete on values rather than price, diversify marketing channels, and improve quality and communication. It suggests buyers educate growers and coordinate supply. Policymakers could support organic programs and connect farmers and buyers online. Non-profits could provide farmer education and distribution infrastructure support.
