During this period, many are interested in knowing and wanting to defend their olives in this globalized market, where apparently, quality is at odds with price, where the traditional olive groves of our land see their profitability diminished compared to products from other countries. that compete with their low prices without ensuring sustainable agricultural practices, social responsibility in their farms or industries, quality of their fruits, socio-economic development of their territories, where the use of phytosanitary products or doses prohibited in the Union are allowed European, where workers' wages are low etc….

The Plenary of the Regulatory Council of the Manzanilla and Gordal PGI of Seville is the body, under public law, competent to approve or deny applications for registration in it, as well as to authorize the use of the marks of the PGI referred to.

We remind you that the registration period for marketing bottling plants is still open, and you can request registration with this Regulatory Council throughout the year.
In the Regulatory Council, we are convinced that the Andalusian rural environment is, and must continue to be, a prosperous and attractive place for those of us who live in it. And because the traditional Sevillian olive grove has a central role due to its ability to generate employment and wealth, and to be part of the identity and history of all of us who inhabit it.
