In this episode of the Almond Byte, the Almond Board of California's Global Technical and Regulatory Affairs team highlights two major regulatory developments shaping almond exports.First, a major milestone for U.S. almond trade with Japan: USDA and Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor & Welfare have signed a voluntary aflatoxin pre-testing protocol. Years in the making, this agreement significantly reduces Japan's inspection frequency for protocol participants, helping streamline exports and reduce costs. The episode discusses how handlers can participate and what to expect from implementation.Then, we shift to the European Union, where the European Commission recently unveiled its “Vision for Agriculture and Food.” In response to last year's farmer protests, the EU is moving toward tighter import controls — emphasizing mirror clauses, food safety, pesticide regulations and sustainability requirements for imported goods.

California almond growers have voted to continue the Almond Board of California's federal marketing order for another five years.

I hope this will be the first of a series of episodes investigating AI's role in education. Specifically, I am interested in how AI can save teachers time, help them do their jobs better, or ideally both. I am also interested in the role AI may play in the future in acting as an intelligent 1-to-1 tutor for our students. So, in this first conversation, Neil and I cover the basics of what exactly AI is, cover some of Neil's use cases for the likes of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and NotebookLM, and then Neil reins me back in when I get a bit carried away about where education might be heading.You can view the show notes here: mrbartonmaths.com/blog/ai-in-education-1

March's Almond Byte brings you the latest insights from the Almond Board of California's Global Technical and Regulatory Affairs team. This month, ABC made waves at Gulfood 2025, connecting with key buyers and exploring future opportunities in Dubai's expanding trade landscape. Meanwhile, new tariffs on Chinese imports are impacting the global almond market, with retaliatory duties adding more challenges for exporters. On the opportunity front, Morocco's booming almond demand is creating exciting prospects for U.S. growers, while an upcoming exploratory trip to Turkey aims to strengthen ties with major processors. Stay tuned for more details on these industry-shaping developments.
