Western Agricultural Processors Association

Advocacy, regulatory guidance, compliance support, and training are offered to California tree nut processors and growers. The association represents almond, pecan, pistachio, and walnut businesses, helping members address requirements related to air and water quality, food safety, labor laws, and sustainability. It represents the industry in government hearings, regulatory discussions, and legislative meetings. Members can access practical resources and training programs, and the association publishes the monthly Tree Nut Times newsletter with regulatory and legislative updates. It also organizes an annual meeting and trade show, a fumigation summit, and membership events. The association serves tree nut processors and growers across California, including in Fresno. Its work focuses on industry advocacy, compliance, and support rather than farming or selling agricultural products directly.
