Almeria province in Spain is seeing increased cultivation of pistachios, particularly in the regions of Los Vélez, la Alpujarra, and the Almanzora valley, due to its climate and suitability for the crop.

The town of Chirivel is leading the way with organic pistachio production, and Almeriplant Semilleros is producing grafted pistachio plants.
