🌳🌳California Almond Growers Face Uncertainty as Tariffs Threaten Exports

California almond growers face challenges from new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, which could hurt exports and impact the state's economy. China has already raised tariffs on U.S. almonds to 35%, making them less competitive against Australian almonds. With 80% of the world's almonds coming from California, farmers are shifting focus to other markets like Canada and India. Experts warn that continued trade battles could reduce prices, force farm closures, and create uncertainty for growers planning long-term.
