Listen: Adapting Under the Almond Tariff with Dinesh Bajaj of Select Harvest USA

 

Amidst a record crop for California Almonds, the almond industry is preparing for the new tariffs imposed by China, one of their biggest buyers. We sat down with the director of sales and marketing at Select Harvest USA, Dinesh Bajaj, to learn about the impact these tariffs have had on business, what Select Harvest USA is doing to adapt and prepare, and how he sees this changing the future of the almond industry.

Dinesh also spoke on our trade history with China, and how it has changed over the years. These new tariffs, according to Dinesh, are giving the States’ largest almond competitors an advantage, and he gives insight on how ultimately, these changes in international trade will help businesses learn and grow moving forward.
