“Almond Association of Gran Canaria”
Wednesday, February 21st, 2007
Around 50 people,
between farmers and "finca" propietors have started this initiative in order to promote the culturing of this tree. It's ment to define different varieties of this species, look for one which is better for general production purposes and eventually breed new species. They're also in charge of establishing other ways of marketing this product, since almonds have been a very important procduct in the last decades.
The municipalities taking part in this association are mainly Tejeda and Valsequillo, but other colindant areas dedicated to this trees' culturing.
That is a good initiative. My "tip of the hat" for these people. Posted by klopapier
