Australia: Olea sells off olive assets in $18m deal

Struggling olive producer and marketer Olea Australis last night unveiled an $18.75 million deal to sell most of its flagship Dandaragan olive business to investment scheme giant Great Southern.

Hani Hahashan of Kfar Marar, who won the Israel Olive Board’s “Outstanding olive oil” award this year, predicts that the poor harvest will cause a 15% jump in prices.
