In these conventional units can not have parallel production, ie plant may not occur in the same variety as those produced in the ecological unit, or a variety that is not easily distinguishable from it. For annual crops not allow exceptions.

The parallel production can be allowed as an exception in case they are perennial crops, with the following conditions:
- On the corresponding sheet of the application for registration shall be a conversion plan to be approved along with the inscription of the producer, who formally commit to the producer under which the start of the conversion to organic production in the latter part of surfaces in the same start as soon as possible and in any event not later than five years,

- The harvest of each of the products concerned will contact the agency or authority with a notice of at least 48 hours. It will use a notebook, according to the model provided by this Council, always on the farm quepermanecerá suitably updated and available losinspectores of CRAE (Organic Farming Control Board), which made the appropriate entries on lassiembras, fertilizer inputs, treatments, labor or crops, on the date on which sehagan.
