Mallvinder Kahal joins the Journey to share some of his unique experiences as an almond grower, processor and handler. Kahal is based in Madera County where he farms and started Atlas Almonds in 2020. Since returning to his family’s farm in 2015, he has expanded the operation and built Atlas Almonds from scratch. “I think maybe that's the big gap. Really connecting the farmer to the wholesale market to talk about the love and the story that goes into the almonds. I think that's the component that we haven't quite fully mined out yet.” - Mallvinder Kahal In Today’s episode: Meet Mallvinder Kahal, an almond grower and founder of Atlas Almonds Discover Kahal’s journey in the almond industry and the unique perspective he has holding multiple roles within the supply chain Explore how almond market changes have impacted his operation and relationship with other producers The Almond Journey Podcast is brought to you by the Almond Board of California.
