Almond Board of California
Consumers all over the world enjoy California’s wholesome, high-quality almonds. They’re California’s most valuable agricultural export and the second largest acreage crop in the state. And the Almond Board of California is both a leader in this industry and a great place to work. We’re here to help farmers market their crop and invest in research to identify operational efficiencies and precision food safety and growing practices. We do this on behalf of California’s over 6,800 almond growers and 100 processors, many of whom are third- and fourth- generation farmers. To be a sustainable crop for California, we’ve increased and accelerated our research investment in key areas like water conservation, air quality and 22nd century agronomics. Agriculture isn’t a static industry; it’s always evolving with changes in climate, resource availability, science, and technology. Our research programs keep us on the forefront of this change. We’re constantly learning more and helping California’s almond community take advantage of the latest science in order to meet the future needs of the industry while benefiting local communities and the environment. We represent an industry that is committed to ensuring that almonds are an economically, environmentally and socially responsible crop for California. Established in 1950 and based in Modesto, California, we are a non-profit organization that administers a grower-enacted Federal Marketing Order under the supervision of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
