\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA recent report from the USDA\u2019s Economic Research Service highlights the importance of California agriculture across the nation and around the world. The state\u2019s farms and ranches brought in $61.2 billion in cash receipts for 2024, a 3.6 percent increase from the previous year. With more than 400 commodities, California produces nearly half of the nation\u2019s vegetables and over three-quarters of its fruits and nuts.<\/p>\n

Dairy products led the way at $8.61 billion, followed by almonds, grapes, cattle and calves, and lettuce. Also in the top ten: strawberries, pistachios, tomatoes, carrots, and broilers.<\/p>\n

On the global front, exports totaled $22.4 billion in 2023, a 5.9 percent drop from 2022. Top exports included almonds, pistachios, dairy, wine, and walnuts.<\/p>\n

California also leads in organic agriculture. Sales rose 21.7 percent since 2019 to reach $11.8 billion in 2023, with 1.78 million acres certified under the nation\u2019s only state-run organic program.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"California\u2019s $61 Billion Harvest Shows Its Global Strength A recent report from the USDA\u2019s Economic Research Service highlights…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37235,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[25966,25954,7,1369,25952,25953,25951,9,8,24083,25965,25964,25955,25958,25967,25960,25961,25956,25959,25962,25963,25950,25957,3945],"class_list":["post-37234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-agricultural-growth","tag-almonds","tag-california","tag-california-agriculture","tag-california-crops-2024","tag-california-exports","tag-california-farm-economy","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-dairy","tag-farm-cash-receipts","tag-global-markets","tag-grapes","tag-lettuce","tag-national-organic-program","tag-organic-farming","tag-organic-sales","tag-pistachios","tag-strawberries","tag-sustainable-agriculture","tag-u-s-food-supply","tag-usda-economic-research-service","tag-walnuts","tag-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
