Belkorp Ag Partners with Oxbo to Expand Pistachio Harvesting Support Across California’s Central Valley
1/6/2026
California's Central Valley is the heart of America's pistachio industry, producing 99% of the nation's crop. As production continues to break records, growers need reliable equipment and expert local support more than ever. That's why Oxbo International has named Belkorp Ag as its authorized dealer for pistachio harvesting equipment across eight Central Valley counties.
Starting in January 2026, Belkorp Ag will represent Oxbo's full line of pistachio-harvesting equipment in Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, and Tulare counties. Oxbo will also continue to support Kern County growers directly through its Bakersfield location. This partnership brings together Oxbo's industry-leading pistachio shakers and receivers with Belkorp Ag's proven track record as California's premier John Deere agricultural equipment dealer.
"We're thrilled to partner with Oxbo to bring growers in California the best in pistachio harvesting technology," said Brent Fukushima, Vice President of Sales at Belkorp Ag. "Our team is committed to providing exceptional service and support to help customers maximize uptime and efficiency during harvest."
With eight strategically located branches spanning from California's North Coast to the Central Valley, Belkorp Ag has established a reputation for keeping farmers productive when it matters most. The family-owned dealership, part of the multi-generational Belkorp Group of Companies, has served California growers since 2011 and has been an authorized Oxbo dealer for more than 15 years.
What sets Belkorp Ag apart is our commitment to uptime during critical harvest windows. Factory-trained field service teams, deep technician coverage, and the Central Valley's strongest parts infrastructure—including high in-region availability and same-day delivery across much of our footprint—mean growers can count on fast response when every hour counts.
Oxbo brings decades of specialty harvesting expertise to the pistachio industry. Their self-propelled WS1000 Shaker features a center operator cab for precise tree alignment, bolt-on deck panels for quick field replacement, and a durable Rexroth motor that endures season after season. The WR2000 Receiver pairs perfectly with the shaker, offering configurations for both bin and bulk systems with excellent operator visibility.
Beyond shakers and receivers, Oxbo offers bulk carts, bin carriers, and bankouts, providing growers with a comprehensive harvest solution that minimizes downtime and maximizes performance.
"Belkorp Ag shares our dedication to customer success," said Kathryn Van Weerdhuizen, Sales & Marketing Director for Oxbo. "This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver robust, reliable equipment and the parts and service growers need to keep their operations running smoothly."
With California pistachio acreage continuing to expand and harvests setting new records, having dependable local support has never been more critical. This partnership between Oxbo and Belkorp Ag positions Central Valley growers for success with world-class equipment backed by a dealer network that understands California agriculture.
