In the past year, the
Covid-19 pandemic has presented a temporary challenge in moving shipments of
almonds and other nuts from the United States to export markets including
India. Still, the Almond Board of
California (ABC) continues to strongly support the California almond
industry through key marketing initiatives, education and negotiation with
international trade officials and frequent discussions with regulators in the
United States and abroad.
