Blue Diamond began in 1910 as The California Almond Grower’s Exchange: a cooperative that gave local farmers a place to sell their almonds. Today, Blue Diamond has expanded from distributing a minor domestic specialty crop to becoming a global presence, with over 3,000 growers that produce 80% of the world’s almond supply. Represented by one of the world’s rarest gems—the blue diamond—this company leads the industry in almond production and marketing.
