The Almond Board of California is a non-profit organization based in Modesto, California, established in 1950 to administer a grower-enacted Federal Marketing Order under the supervision of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It represents California's almond supply chain, serving about 8,100 growers and 91 processing facilities, many of them multi-generational. The board supports farmers by helping market their crop and by funding research to improve operational efficiency, food safety, and growing practices. Its research agenda emphasizes sustainability, focusing on water conservation, air quality, and forward-looking agronomy to adapt to climate shifts and technological advances. Its customers are California almond growers and processors, and the organization aims to ensure almonds are produced and marketed in a manner that is economically, environmentally, and socially responsible. In 2026, the board announced leadership appointments—CarmenMaria Navarro as managing director of strategic operations and innovation, and Varun Khanna as senior director of science and innovation—to strengthen its strategic and scientific work.
