Where are almonds grown in the United States?
Almonds in California
Almonds were California's third most valuable agricultural product in 2016, accounting for $5.2 billion (about 11%) of agricultural output.[3] Almond production has increased significantly in recent years; by weight, production more than tripled from 703 million pounds in 2000 to 2.27 billion pounds in 2017.[4] Prices rose over the same period, fueled in part by overseas demand. Newly planted almond acreage has displaced more traditional cash crops, such as cotton.[5]
