Blue Diamond Growers, a grower-owned almond cooperative, applauds United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) announcement of the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP), which will provide much needed investment in U.S. agricultural export promotion initiatives with direct benefits to California almonds.  Nearly 70 percent of California almonds are exported worldwide.

Blue Diamond Growers Foundation is pleased to announce its 2023-2024 scholarship recipients. This year, scholarship funding is being awarded to 25 college students who are either dependents of Blue Diamond employees or are members of local communities who are pursuing agriculture-related fields of study at colleges and universities in California and throughout the country.

Blue Diamond Growers, at the request of Secretary Karen Ross of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), hosted United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai for a tour and roundtable discussion last Friday at its Sacramento headquarters and processing facility. Joining the Ambassador and the Secretary was California Governor Newsom’s Senior Advisor and Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) Director Dee Dee Myers.

As the 6-ounce can of Chilé ‘n Lime finishes its six-month rotation to store shelves, Blue Diamond Growers is replacing it with an all-new flavor, also available for a limited time. For the next six months, Honey Butter Flavored Almonds will be available at Walmart and the Blue Diamond Nut & Gift Shops, as well as through our online store at www.bluediamondstore.com/. Inspired by the popular Korean Honey Butter Chips, these snack almonds boast a velvety smooth blend of honey and buttery flavor.

Blue Diamond Growers launched its USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities Grant Program with its 3,000 grower-owners this week. The program is a major step in expanding the use of climate-smart practices in almond orchards.
