Inshell Operations to Stay in Sacramento
Although Blue Diamond ’s Sacramento site is winding down most manufacturing and selling much of the property, inshell almond processing, which is critical to export demand and supply chain flexibility, will stay at the Sacramento campus, preserving about 90 employees. This adjustment reflects the ongoing effort to optimize Blue Diamond ’s processing network across California. While most of the production is transitioning to the Turlock and Salida facilities, the Sacramento site provides value for inshell processing, which already has a concentrated, efficient footprint. The decision helps balance two priorities: maximizing return on cooperative assets while ensuring continuity for vital international market product streams. The broader consolidation will reduce long-term operating costs and reinvest
in areas that directly support grower returns. Modernizing operations across the more efficient sites is expected to improve throughput, reduce handling costs, and align production closer to the core grower supply area.
