The Mississippi Pecan Growers Association is dedicated to promoting and enhancing the growth of pecans in Mississippi, as well as encouraging the increased consumption of our only native American nut, the pecan, throughout our state.
There are no actual records of when the Mississippi Pecan Growers Association was founded, but it was prior to the early 1970s. Back in those days, pecan orchards dotted the landscape from Biloxi to Memphis and from Vicksburg to Meridian. Today, the MPGA is an organization of about 50 members that work to promote the pecan industry in Mississippi, the pecan belt and also the world.
The MPGA has long partnered with the Mississippi State University Extension Service to provide the best, most up to date educational tools to help ensure success for Mississippi pecan growers.
