Leadership from DFA of California and the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) recently met to formally solidify their partnership in support of the INC Sustainability Certification program, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing responsible practices across the global tree nut and dried fruit industry.

With the DFA, You're Never On Your Own

Membership is the heart of DFA. Our early leaders recognized industry issues could be addressed more effectively by working together rather than working individually. They established the DFA to harness its collective strength, tackle the big issues of the day, and bring greater value to the products grown, packed, and marketed by its members.
