Back to back: I spoke with @seanrtimberlake.bsky.social @sacbee.com about trends in CA's olive production amid a merger of two of the state's largest 🫒 olive oil processors
That's the share that goes to production at the farm. Including value added occuring on the farm that number is closer to 16c in 2023. That's the lowest it's been since it's been measured in the US starting in 93 -- due to growth of food services share, marketing costs, & processor consolidation
I talked with Lucas Robinson at @sandiegouniontribune.com about San Diego co's avocado production and how the high cost of water has setback the industry there

University of California, Davis is hiring. Apply now!
