Blue Diamond Growers Supports Agriculture Export Promotion Act of 2025

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Diamond Growers, the largest almond processor and marketer, issued a statement of support following the reintroduction of the Agriculture Export Promotion Act of 2025.

The Company issued the following statement:
"Blue Diamond applauds U.S. Representatives Dan Newhouse (R-WA-04), Tracey Mann (R-KS-01), Jim Costa (D-CA-21), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19), Ashley Hinson (R-IA-02), Brad Finstad (R-MN-01), Chellie Pingree (D-ME-01), and Kim Schrier (D-WA-08) for their leadership in bringing this critical legislation forward. As a global almond brand and farmer-owned cooperative, programs supporting market access and promotion are strategic to export expansion and economic returns for family farms. Post pandemic fallout, escalating production costs, and world market challenges have kept most of the co-op's approximate 3,000 member farms far below the cost of production. We urge bipartisan collaboration as Congress moves through the process to ensure our almond farmers and their cooperative have the tools available to regain their profitability and protect their farms for the next generation.
