The Agricultural Marketing Service has finalized a rule to lower the assessment rate for olives grown in California. The fee drops from $28 per ton to $24 per ton for the 2025 fiscal year and any years after that.
Why it matters: This is a modest administrative adjustment to the cost of compliance for the olive industry. It slightly reduces the financial burden on producers and handlers who must pay into the federal marketing program. It does not change how olives are marketed, sold, or regulated, only the specific dollar amount of the fee.
