Organic pistachio, new alternative production in Andalusia

 

 

 

In Andalusia, the area of organic pistachio has almost quadrupled in the last 2 years. From 116 hectares in 2014 to more than 430 hectares in 2016 according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture. The province of Granada, with more than 130 hectares, alone accounts for more than 30% of the total area of the region of Andalusia.

 

 

 

For more diverse crops with a fairly high market price, pistachio is a very cost-effective solution for producers. Among the organic crops currently emerging in Andalusia, pistachio joins other products (aloe vera, stevia, quinoa, kumquat) promised a bright future.
