Avocado Growers of california
A Century of Avocado Commercial Growth
Avocados have been commercially grown in California for over one hundred years. However, our local farms are now facing extinction due to skyrocketing production costs and the unrestricted supply of foreign fruit that has driven prices down to unsustainable levels. California grown avocados are fresher and have a smaller carbon footprint than imported avocados. They also meet stricter quality standards, for food safety, environmental protection, and labor laws. Avocado Growers of California (AGC) believes that our local industry can become profitable again by improving production, cutting input costs, and strategically marketing our fruit to our local community. In addition, the AGC seeks ways to leverage state and federal government entities to aid in farm sustainability. Our State and local Governments recognize that having a thriving domestic agricultural economy and community is vital to the future of our country. The AGC strongly believes that through our collection of voices and our knowledge will be a thriving industry once again.
