Exhibit 10.24

WAIVER AND FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

This WAIVER AND FOURTH AMENDMENT
TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made as of July 27, 2012 and entered into by and among Diamond Foods, Inc., (the Borrower), the Subsidiaries of the Borrower identified on the signature pages hereto
as guarantors (collectively, the Guarantors), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent), and the lenders party hereto (collectively, the
Lenders). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS

A. The Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 25, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make the Loans and
other extensions of credit, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

B. During the month of
January 2012, Kettle Foods Ltd. entered into a lease of certain equipment (the Kettle UK Lease), which lease is guaranteed by Diamond Foods, Inc. The Kettle UK Lease was initially classified as an operating lease for accounting
purposes. The Loan Parties and their advisors have since concluded that the Kettle UK Lease should have been classified as a capital lease. Kettle Foods Ltd. is a Subsidiary but not a Guarantor.

C. Certain Events of Default have occurred and, in certain cases, are continuing as a result of the Kettle UK Lease. Specifically, Events
of Default may exist or have existed as a result of (i) the incurrence of a capital lease by a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, (ii) the Loan Parties exceeding of the aggregate amount of Indebtedness permitted under
Section 7.03(e) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2012 and the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2012, (iii) the Loan Parties having made, or been deemed to make, representations regarding the
absence of Defaults notwithstanding the foregoing Defaults, and (iv) the Loan Parties failure to notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the foregoing Defaults (collectively, the Acknowledged Events of
Default).

D. The Loan Parties have requested that the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent permanently
waive the Acknowledged Events of Default and agree to certain amendments to the Credit Agreement.

E. The Required Lenders and
the Administrative Agent are willing to agree to such waiver and amendments subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties
agree as follows:

1. Existing Defaults. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Acknowledged Events of Default
have occurred and are continuing.

2. Waiver. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders hereby permanently waive the Acknowledged Events of Default as well as the right to exercise any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender has or may have had exclusively with
respect thereto. This waiver is limited solely to the Acknowledged Events of Default, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
under the Credit Agreement or any

other Loan Documents or under applicable law. Nothing herein shall modify or affect the obligations of the Loan Parties to comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and the
other Loan Documents from and after the date hereof.

3. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent,
the Required Lenders and the Borrower agree to amend the Credit Agreement by:

(a) inserting the following
definitions in Section 1.01 in the appropriate alphabetical order:

Fourth Amendment means that
certain Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement by and among the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto dated as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

Fourth Amendment Effective Date shall have the meaning given to such term in the Fourth Amendment.

(b) replacing the words Borrower or any Guarantor in Section 7.03(e) with the words Borrower or any
Subsidiary.

4. Conditions Precedent. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date of satisfaction of each
of the following conditions (such date, the Fourth Amendment Effective Date):

(a) the
Administrative Agent shall have received duly executed counterparts of this Agreement from the Borrower, each of the Guarantors and Lenders constituting Required Lenders; and

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed, corresponding amendment to and waiver under the Oaktree
Loan in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

5. Estoppel, Acknowledgement and Reaffirmation. Each
of the Loan Parties acknowledges and confirms that as of July 23, 2012, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility was $220,000,000.00, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility was
$204,800,000.00 (which amount includes the aggregate principal amount of $2,800,000.00 in respect of all Letters of Credit), and the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loan was $0.00, which amounts constitute valid and subsisting
obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders that are not subject to any credits, offsets, defenses, claims, counterclaims or adjustments of any kind. The Borrower hereby (i) acknowledges its obligations under the Loan Documents,
(ii) reaffirms that each of the Liens created and granted pursuant to the Loan Documents is valid, subsisting, perfected and of the priority required pursuant to the Loan Documents and (iii) acknowledges that this Agreement shall in no
manner impair or otherwise adversely affect such Liens.

6. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party hereby
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (a) each Loan Party has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement; (b) the officers of each Loan Party executing this Agreement have been
duly authorized to execute and deliver the same and bind each Loan Party with respect to the provisions hereof; (c) the execution and delivery hereof by each Loan Party and the performance and observance by each Loan Party of the provisions
hereof do not violate or conflict with any organizational document of any Loan Party or any law applicable to any Loan Party or result in a breach of any provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or document binding
upon or

enforceable against any Loan Party; (d) Wimbledon Acquisition LLC and Diamond Foods Brazil Holding LLC are Subsidiaries of the Borrower that do not constitute Material Subsidiaries;
(e) except with respect to the Acknowledged Events of Default, no Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or by the performance or
observance of any provision hereof; (f) no Loan Party is aware of any claim or offset against, or defense or counterclaim to, any Loan Partys obligations or liabilities under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (g) this
Agreement and each document executed by each Loan Party in connection herewith constitute valid and binding obligations of the applicable Loan Party in every respect, enforceable in accordance with their terms; and (h) all representations and
warranties made by such Loan Party and contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects (other than such representations and warranties that are untrue or otherwise
inaccurate solely and directly as a result of the Acknowledged Events of Default) on and as of the date of this Agreement to the same extent as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any thereof expressly relate to an earlier
date.

7. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and
delivered, all such instruments as may reasonably be requested to effectuate the intent and purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Agreement.

8. Release. Each Loan Party hereby waives and releases the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates and subsidiaries
(each a Releasee) from any and all claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims, known and unknown, that any Loan Party may have as of the date of this Agreement based upon, relating to, or arising out of the Obligations and
related transactions in any way. Each Loan Party intends the foregoing release to cover, encompass, release and extinguish, among other things, all claims and matters that might otherwise be reserved by California Civil Code Section 1542, which
provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not constitute a release of the performance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender after the date hereof of their respective express obligations
under the Loan Documents.

9. Covenant Not to Sue. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns,
and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the
basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by such Loan Party pursuant to Section 8 above. If any Loan Party or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representations violates the foregoing covenant, such Loan Party, for
itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such
violation.

10. Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Loan Parties shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender
for all fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, (including without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and
counsel to each Lender) incurred in connection with the Loan Documents, including without limitation this Agreement.

to any party hereto to cause such party to enter into this Agreement other than those that are set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement has been entered into by the Borrower and each Guarantor freely, voluntarily, with full knowledge, and without
duress, and, in executing this Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is relying on any other representations, either written or oral, express or implied, made to the Borrower or any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower and
each Guarantor agrees that the consideration received by the Borrowers under this Agreement has been actual and adequate.

13.

inconsistent with the express terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) notwithstanding any course of dealing between the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the date hereof, except as set forth
herein, the Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Loan, except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, and (c) except with respect to the Acknowledged Events of Default, neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. Nothing herein modifies the agreements among the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders with respect to the exercise of their respective rights and remedies under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

14. No Waiver of Rights. No waiver shall be deemed to be made by any party hereunder of any of its rights hereunder unless the
same shall be in writing signed on behalf of such party.

15. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the
entire agreement and understanding among the parties as to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, and undertakings of every kind and nature among them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on the same
or separate counterparts and by facsimile signature, and each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement.

18. Severability Of Provisions; Captions; Attachments. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The captions to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and
shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement.
