Spiraling Olive Oil Demand amid Falling Supply Continues to Jack-up Prices

Posted by Arslan on December 20th, 2018

The recent consequences of adverse climatic events in the key olive growing regions within the Mediterranean have taken a severe toll on olive production, thereby affecting volumetric output of olive oil. As the olive yield, supply, olive oil volumes, and overall prices prominently rely on a set of external factors including weather, Spain and Italy have had experienced skyrocketing olive oil prices in the recent years. Similarly, floods have been responsible for plunging olive oil market in Spain, whereas heat waves ravaged olive oil markets in Italy and Greece. While experts have already projected a long-term worldwide olive oil shortage, olive crop decimation due to bacterial infections and fruit fly attack is expected to further cause the fall of the most fertile olive groves. Despite drastic price volatility, there has been no signs of olive oil demand abating across the globe, which points to a challenging scenario facing olive oil producers.

Olive Oil Exporters to Explore New Business Opportunities with the EU-Japan Trade Deal

European farmers and agricultural product companies are presumed to enjoy revolutionary benefits of the brand new EU-Japan Trade Deal. While the deal intends to appease the tax pressure on the goods and service trade among the EU and Japan, it is foreseen to pave the way for European farmers and agricultural product exporters to penetrate the massive Japanese market space. A large number of agricultural products exported by the EU countries to Japan will now have a ready access to Japanese market, followed by a protected scenario for more than 200 food and beverage products. Producers, bottlers, and exporters of olive oil are likely to explore a free trade zone in Japan post this deal, owing to flexible packaging and labeling guidelines.
