American Pecans

Traceability does not happen by accident. APC's Good Agricultural Practices framework provides growers and shellers with guidance on maintaining detailed records, documenting harvest dates and lot identification, and building supply chain traceability from the orchard forward. For buyers and partners sourcing American Pecans, that paper trail supports informed sourcing decisions.

This summer, the USDA is conducting a referendum as part of the process for the pecan marketing order. This is an important moment for the industry, and APC wants to make sure every grower, handler, and importer has access to the information they need.

If you have questions about the referendum process, what to expect, or where to find official materials, our staff is here to help. Give us a call, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

We're looking forward to attending the Texas Pecan Growers Association Annual Conference & Tradeshow in July. Texas is home to some of the most dedicated pecan growers, shellers, and industry members in the country and we're looking forward to spending time with our Texas friends and those who can make it in from across the country. We'll be on-site to connect with industry members.

We're excited to be guest speakers at the upcoming conference. During our session we'll provide a pecan market overview, share our latest efforts, and our upcoming plans to continue to grow the American Pecan market worldwide.

Quality pecans start with healthy soil. Many American Pecan growers plant cover crops like clover and radish between their trees to naturally retain moisture, improve soil structure, and protect the orchard floor. This research-supported practice has lasting results for both the land and the harvest.

American Pecans were in the spotlight at the Annual Nut Congress, known as the largest annual conference for the dried fruit and nut industry hosted by the International Nut Congress (INC) in Macau. Our gobal efforts and marketing initiatives were featured in a panel chaired by Eduardo Alfaro of JB Sanfillippo, along with crop updates from Lalo Medina of Pecan Grove Farms and Romula Garza of Star Norte.

From our orchards to global markets abroad, we remain committed to showing how Americans Pecans are the premium choice worldwide.
