In 2016, the crop value was approximately $146 million on 7,369 acres, according to the Coachella Valley Water District 2020 Crop Report. In 2020, the value dropped to $74 million on 5,511 acres.
Grapes had long been ranked No. 1 in terms of crop value in the Coachella Valley but lost that spot to dates in 2019, when dates were valued at $93.7 million, edging out grapes’ $92.3 million valuation.
Spinelli attributed most of that drop to increased shipments from south of the border.
