The Ministry of Agriculture recognizes Interpistacho as the pistachio interprofessional organization

The Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development of Castilla-La Mancha has granted recognition as an agri-food interprofessional organization to the Interprofessional Pistachio Association of Castilla-La Mancha (Interpistacho). This is done through the Resolution of 10/30/2026, disseminated in the Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha no. 218, of November 13, 2026, with the official reference [2026/8089]. The resolution takes effect from the day following its publication, that is, from November 14, 2026.

The applied framework is Decree 24/2006, of March 7, regulating agri-food interprofessional organizations, which was published in the Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha no. 53, of March 10, 2006. The entity submitted its application for recognition on September 1, 2026, in application of that same regulation.

Having processed the procedure in accordance with Decree 24/2006, the General Directorate of Agri-food Production and Cooperatives issued a favorable resolution proposal, considering that the petition met all the requirements of the current regulations. The text was signed in Toledo on October 30, 2026, by the regional minister Julián Martínez Lizán.

What the recognition implies

The resolution recognizes Interpistacho as an agri-food interprofessional organization under Decree 24/2006 and orders its registration, managed by the General Directorate of Agri-food Production and Cooperatives, in the Registry of agri-food interprofessional organizations of Castilla-La Mancha.

With this step, the association is formally incorporated into the regional regime of interprofessionals, which positions it as a recognized spokesperson for the pistachio sector before the regional administration.
