What happened
FICO has agreed to sell more than 7,000 acres of pecan orchards located in Southern Arizona to a consortium of pecan growers. The transaction includes orchards in Sahuarita, Continental, and San Simon. FICO officials stated that the sale is an asset transfer, meaning the company will end formal employment at closing.

Why it matters
The divestment reduces FICO's agricultural asset base and shifts ownership of the orchards to a new group of growers. FICO officials stated the sale is intended to ensure the orchards continue pecan production in the foreseeable future.
