A picture taken on September 25, 2024 shows pistachios being processed in Pistamancha cooperative, in the outskirts of Pozuelo de Calatrava, in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha. The amount of land devoted to pistachio trees, that can better withstand the droughts that have become more frequent and intense in Spain, has jumped nearly five-fold since 2017 to 79,000 hectares (195,000 acres) in 2024, according to the Spanish agriculture ministry figures.
