Demand and supply

Abstract

California participates in national and international agricultural markets. Californians consume food that is produced in the state, as well as food that is imported from other states and countries. Measured by cash receipts, agriculture in California is the largest among the states, and produces a variety of animals and animal products, fruit, tree nuts, vegetables, field crops, and nursery and floriculture products. California agricultural commissioners' data indicates the Central Valley (composed of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys) accounts for more than half of the state's gross value of agricultural production.
