What exactly does “not-for-profit” mean?
In Sunkist’s core business, the marketing of its members’ fruit and fruit products, Sunkist neither earns nor retains any profits for itself. All the money the cooperative generates from the sale of its members’ fruit, less actual expenses, is returned to the growers. Only income generated from non-member and other incidental business activities is retained by the cooperative and then only as a source of capital with which to operate the business for the members.
