ASSITOL: campagna olearia ancora difficile per l'Italia

🌽 The Italian olive oil industry predicts a below-average production of 200,000 tonnes for the 2024-25 season due to climatic crises, particularly impacting Southern regions like Puglia which accounts for 50% of the country's olive groves. In contrast, the Mediterranean area sees growth with Spain leading at over 1.3 million tonnes, followed by Turkey (250,000 tonnes), Tunisia (320,000 tonnes), Greece (230,000 tonnes), and Portugal (170,000 tonnes). Italy's annual olive oil production doesn't exceed 350,000 tonnes against a demand of about 1 million tonnes, leading to blending practices to meet consumer needs. Quality checks are emphasized by ASSITOL, with thousands of annual controls by each mill and rigorous national and public monitoring systems in place.
