A recent study from the University of Agricultural Issues Center reports the almond industry supports the economic well-being of California by generating more than 100,000 jobs and more than $21 billion in gross revenue across all industries in the state.
“As a major part of California agriculture, generating about 15 percent of the value of California farm output and almost 25 percent of agricultural exports, the California almond industry is a major contributor to a healthy and vibrant agriculture and a sound California economy needed to offer economic opportunity in the state," reads the report, which was led by AIC Director Daniel Sumner.
