The California Avocado Commission (CAC) has announced important changes to the assessment rate for the 2024-25 season. Here’s what you need to know:
Assessment Rate Change
The CAC Board of Directors has approved a new assessment rate of $0.005 (half a cent) per pound on all California-grown avocado varieties. NOTE: THE 2024-25 CAC ASSESSMENT IS A FIXED RATE PER POUND (not a percent of value). The 2023- 24 assessment was 2.25% of the value.
Who Needs To Pay?
All avocado producers in California are required to pay this assessment, with one exception. Growers who have produced an average of less than 10,000 pounds of avocados annually over the past three marketing years are exempt.
If you have any questions concerning the assessment for the 2024-25 crop year or the reporting and payment procedures, please contact CAC Accounting at: accountspayable@avocado.org or call (949) 341-1955.
