The California almond crop is marketed to all 50 states and more than 90 foreign countries, making almonds California's largest food export, the sixth largest U.S. food export and the #1 specialty crop in America. We keep that market-leading position by remaining strategically ahead of the curve, with continual innovations in our award-winning processing plants and information technology systems that have grown by leaps and bounds to support global growth.
