Navajo Agricultural Products Industry (NAPI) is located in Farmington, NM and is an entity of the Navajo Nation, the largest tribal reservation. On April 16, 1970, NAPI was developed by the Navajo Nation Council as a Navajo-Owned Enterprise to create employment and operate a profitable Agri-business. NAPI has become one of the largest contiguous farmlands in the nation and provides ‘Navajo Pride’ products locally and internationally.
The NAPI farmland has 110,630 acres of total farmland, of which an estimated 72,000 acres are developed. The major crops grown at NAPI are alfalfa, No. 2 Corn, small grains, potatoes, and beans. Each crop is grown to meet the highest quality under the ‘Navajo Pride’ brand. NAPI operates three Navajo Pride processing facilities: Bean Plant, Potato Fresh Pack and Flour Mill. The Bean Plant and Fresh Pack are Global GAP certified to make Navajo Pride products one of the highest quality products in the market.
In 2018, NAPI began to venture into organic fruits and vegetable production. A venture that was a new concept to the company and the local region. With ingenuity, perseverance, and a strong group of Crop Managers, the organic crop was a success. The future of organic production within NAPI is a longstanding goal and we are encouraged to find individuals who share the interest in furthering this venture.
NAPI’s employment varies between 200-500 people during a crop season, with a great majority of the staffing to include seasonal staff.
