I respectfully submit the County of San Diego Department of Agriculture, Weights & Measures\u2019 2024 Crop Statistics and Annual Report of acreage, yield, and value of agricultural production for San Diego county. In 2024, the direct economic output from agricultural production totaled $1,673,927,223. This equates to an increase of about $18 million or 1.1% from 2023\u2019s total value of $1,656,337,261. The overall acreage devoted to commercial agriculture fell from 210,732 acres in 2023 to 207,322 acres in 2024 for a decrease of about three thousand acres or 1.6% overall.<\/p>\n

This report details crop information and highlights the many diverse programs that promote the county\u2019s goals by supporting food security, agricultural trade, public health, consumer confidence, and a sustainable environment.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to the producers, industry groups, and public agencies who provided vital information for this report. I would like to express gratitude for your leadership and support. Finally, much appreciation to my outstanding staff for their continued superior service to our community.<\/p>\n

Regards,<\/p>\n
