The US almond industry is targeting new and existing markets for export growth, including Italy, Bulgaria, and India. The Almond Board of California has been working with the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service to open and expand these markets. India is already the top export market for US almonds and is expected to reach a value of US$1bn in 2024, in part due to the industry's long-term commitment, promotions, and investment in nutrition research in India.
