Agriculture
Oxnard agriculture continues to thrive, with county estimates of gross dollar sales more than $1 billion annually. Agriculture is the area’s primary industry — leading the state in the production of citrus, cut flowers, and nursery products as well as vegetables and field crops.
Oxnard is surrounded by some of the most fertile agricultural land in the world. While sugar beets, lima beans and lemons were historically the top-grown produce of the area, Oxnard has become the agricultural leader in the growth and export of strawberries.
Helping to rank California No. 1 producer of strawberries, Ventura County revenues for the delicious red berry topped $366 million in 2007.
More than 12,000 acres in Ventura County, primarily in the Oxnard region, are dedicated to growing strawberries (little wonder the annual California Strawberry Festival is held in Oxnard).
Oranges, lemons, avocados, tomatoes and nursery stock are grown profitably in and around Oxnard, contributing to Ventura County being ranked 10th nationally in farm revenues.
