Abstract

Olive growing has a long tradition in our coast. Of the total national fruit production, the value of olive oil is ranked second, right behind apple production. Very heterogeneous growing areas characterized by different pedological, climatic, social, traditional and economic conditions, significantly influenced the development and status of olive growing. Despite positive trends in production and processing, the current status of olive growing is still unsatisfactory.
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the current situation of olive growing (production resource, olive production and olive oil technology) in the whole olive growing area.
