All but the Marine Products Board and the Wine Board use funds generated through assessments that growers and producers of these commodities have agreed by referendum to pay for programs and projects that would benefit their commodities. The activities of the Marine Products Board are funded by licensing fees. The Virginia Wine Board receives an appropriation as provided in the 2004 Virginia Acts of Assembly.
Members of the State Apple Board are elected. Members of the other boards are appointed by the Governor from recommendations by the various industry groups.
