TOMAH, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin's cranberry farmers are working to generate demand for the fruit overseas to alleviate an oversupply that's driving down prices.
Wisconsin Public Radio reports that food buyers, bloggers and social media influencers from China and India visited Wisconsin's cranberry farms as part of the U.S. Cranberry Marketing Committee's Reverse Trade Mission.
The fruit's abundance caused the price of a 100-pound barrel to drop by 21 percent last year.
