Thus, the Provincial Government will continue today in the Cedes of Albocàsser the training cycle that promotes truffle farming and multiply its dynamizing effect on the territory.
The deputy responsible, Pablo Roig, stressed the need to “take advantage of all the opportunities offered to our interior by the cultivation of this precious fungus. The success of public we have in each of the sessions that have already been held at the Cedes Center in Lucena, in Morella and in the building of New Dependencies of the Provincial Council in Castellón, shows that there is much interest in our people to explore the opportunities offered by the cultivation of this precious fungus”.
It should be remembered that this initiative is part of the Provincial Government’s promotion of the resources offered by Castellón to dynamize the territory in order to multiply the development opportunities in the interior of the province.
Positioning the interior as a reference point
Today will continue this cycle to exploit the full potential of rural development of truffle farming and that will allow the council to add arguments when “positioning our interior as a benchmark in the production and knowledge of this precious fungus thus opening numerous opportunities for the future of these peoples”.

Truffle Farming Advisory Service
Within the line of promotion and enhancement of the truffle as a backbone of tourism in the inland area, the council created the Truffle Farming Advisory Service through which offers in-person, telephone or e-mail to the farmer who has a truffle plantation. “The aim is to reinforce the truffle as a sustainable economic alternative for the inland regions of the province,” explained Roig.
