CALIFORNIA ALMONDS: The California Almond Marketing Order will be continued without change, according to USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service. The marketing order was established to help the California almond industry work with AMS to solve marketing problems that were characterized by abundant supplies and relatively low producer returns.

These problems continue today and the industry needs the marketing tools available under the marketing order in overcoming these problems.
