Founded in 1966 to support the western states pecan industry, the Western Pecan Growers Association supports advocacy and educational efforts through our partnerships with national and state agencies.  We support pecan advocacy in Washington D.C. through National Pecan Federation (NPF), as well as marketing benefits from the American Pecan Promotion Board (APPB).  We partner with extension offices in western state's universities to provide the educational resources our members need to be successful.
