Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

On Thursday, September 13, 2001, the information attached to this Report as
Exhibit 99, was mailed to members of Pro-Fac Cooperative, Inc. ("Pro-Fac").
Dennis M. Mullen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Agrilink Foods, Inc.
("Agrilink Foods"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pro-Fac Cooperative, will
present this information to attendees of the Pro-Fac Cooperative regional
year-end meetings of its members and to participants of the Agrilink Foods
year-end investor conference call. The information contains projections of
fiscal 2002 expected operating results for Agrilink Foods.

The projections are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section
21E of the Exchange Act and section 27A of the Securities Act. Although
management believes its projections are based upon reasonable assumptions, these
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, strong
competition in the food industry, including competitive pricing, the effect of
adverse weather conditions on the volume and quality of raw products, interest
rate fluctuations, the effectiveness of marketing, shifts in the market demand,
and the integration of acquisitions. Please refer to Pro-Fac's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the risk factors section of
Pro-Fac's prospectus contained in our most recent registration statement on Form
S-2, as well as other reports and information filed by Pro-Fac Cooperative with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, for more information on factors that
could cause actual results to differ.
