California Agriculture

Aloha Everyone,

Property taxes for farmers & ranchers are lower than residential or commercial property. Per available data of the USDA, California had 69,600 farms and ranches in 2020.

In 2020, its agriculture cash receipts totaled almost $55 billion. This was more than 12% of total agricultural cash receipts.

Over one-third of U.S. vegetables and two-thirds of U.S. fruits and nuts are grown in California.

In 2019, California dairy farmers produced 19% of our nation’s dairy supply.

California is one of only five agricultural regions in the world with a Mediterranean growing climate. This enables California farmers to grow a vast array of commodities.

California leads the world in the production of the following commodities:

Almonds, Apricots, Dates, Figs, Kiwi fruits, Avoocados, Grapes, Lemons, Melons, plums, Peaches, Plums and Strawberries.

Aloha -- Cathi
