San Diego Calif. Agriculture IndustriesWith its mild, Mediterranean climate, long growing days of bright sunshine and a rich tradition of family farms, it's not surprising to learn that agriculture is San Diego's fourth largest industry. More than 200 different crops are raised in this county. San Diego's many sublimates allow for a diverse, year-round agricultural industry, and the county's horticultural industry generates more than $1 billion annually, accounting for more than one-third of California's production. As the "Avocado Capital of the Nation," San Diego's crop represents about 60 percent of all avocados produced in California. Some of the region's other crops are citrus fruits, apples, kumquats, grapes, macadamia nuts, olives, strawberries, persimmons, bunch vegetables, corn, cucumbers, mushrooms, potatoes, squash, peppers, tomatoes, hay, barley, oats, nursery and flower crops. The
public's growing interest in purchasing the unbelievably delicious, just-picked
local produce has resulted in an increase in neighborhood farmers' markets,
now found
throughout the
county. Agricultural tourism
is also on the rise. The
Carlsbad Flower Fields, festivals such as Julian Apple Days, U-pick-cut
operations, wineries and agricultural tours are enjoyed by thousands of people
yearly. To learn more about San Diego's other main business, click the buttons on the left.
