ACTIVITIES GREMPA: almond and pistachio

The FAO-CIHEAM Network on Nuts is involved in many international scientific Meetings concerning the target species. In some cases, the Network actively promotes the participation of its members in these events and even the organization of such events is undertaken by network members and supported by IAMZ-CIHEAM and other institutions. In other cases, the members of the Network participate at these meetings as individuals.

As a result of these scientific events of some joint research projects carried out in the past, a substantial number of publications have been released
