Blue Diamond
Almonds Travel to
the South Pole
Nat Greene, a
Blue Diamond
contractor and avid almond
consumer, took an adventure of a lifetime when he traveled to
the South Pole. “It was an amazing trip that pushed me right
to my limits,” he said. He was sure to bring along his favorite
snack,
Blue Diamond Almonds
, along for the trip!
In January, Sacramento County Congressman Ami Bera
was invited to join President Obama on a visit to India. His
Facebook post provided assurance that
Blue Diamond
almonds
were represented both in brand and as an ingredient in the
Almond Joy candy bar peaking from behind our snack nuts.
“It’s incredibly humbling to join the President on Air
Force One and help represent the United States and
Sacramento County abroad in India. I was glad to
see that they were serving locally grown
Blue Diamond
Almonds aboard our flight!” Bera wrote.
The presidential visit to India in supports two great
democracies and promises to enhance a long-
standing strategic partnership. The India-U.S. Delhi
Declaration of Friendship states a commitment
to elevate the strategic dialogue to a strategic and
commercial dialogue. This reflects the U.S. and
India’s commitment to strengthen commercial and
economic ties to advance mutual prosperity, regional
economic growth and stability.
Blue Diamond’s
vision is to deliver the benefits of
almonds to the world. The cooperative looks forward
to opportunities to continue to bring
Blue Diamond
almonds into India and support Indian commerce.
