The organic farming area of the Jumilla Pear Denomination of Origin (DO Pera de Jumilla) has reached 20 percent of production for the ercolini variety, with expectations for this year's harvest to reach four million kilos. The region has started its harvest campaign and has thousands of members, covering around 250 hectares with three warehouses. The ecological cultivation of the ercolini variety has seen a significant increase, covering more than 50 hectares, which is a notable rise from the less than 5 percent in the past. However, the harvest may be affected by inclement weather such as storms and hail this season.
