Central California Almond Growers Association (CCAGA) is a non-profit grower-owned cooperative governed by a member-elected Board of Directors. Its service area is Valley-wide and generally from Merced to Pixley. The Association was organized as an Agricultural Service Cooperative under Chapter 4 of Division VI of the Agricultural Code of the State of California in 1963 for the purpose of hulling and shelling almonds delivered by its patrons.

After hulling and shelling, the Association delivers the almonds to the members’ marketing organization, which takes title to the almonds and handles the proceeds from sale. The Association sells all hulls and shells through a brokerage association. CCAGA is the largest Sheller and Huller of Almonds in the World with 453 members farming 42,653 acres of almonds.

CCAGA is operated by the growers themselves. The members of the cooperative elect the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors hires a President and CEO, and he hires other employees to conduct the day-to-day operation of the Association. As well as being the largest hulling and shelling operation in the world, CCAGA is also the oldest hulling and shelling operation in the San Joaquin Valley. It came into being when a number of like minded almond growers believed almonds could grow and prosper in this area
