Australia: Timbercorp olive harvest goes ahead
Harvesting is going ahead at one of the largest olive groves in the world, owned by Timbercorp.
The grove, at Boort in central Central Victoria, is one of the properties the company had trouble selling, before placing itself into voluntary administration.
Will Pattison, who works as a contract harvester at the grove, says it makes sense to harvest the fruit.
“There’s $20 million worth of oil on those trees,” he says.
“It costs approximately $2 million to take it off, so it makes sense, it’s in the best interest of everyone, to take the crop off.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Government won’t say whether it will investigate the Timbercorp collapse.

Olive Oil Production Returns to Afghanistan
By Qadeem Weyar,
Olive Oil production in Nangarhar restores this product to the country after a decade and half.
The factory is reconstructed by the Italian government, funded $800,000 for the project. In addition of the oil, olive soap is also being produced in the factory.
The industrial unit is provided with modern equipments and some technical labours are also trained in Italy and Pakistan.
Engineer Ghulam Gul, head of the factory said the factory is engaged in producing the oil only two months in a year, therefore, he suggests to process other vegetables to maintain the factory switched on.
The official said, the factory was producing more than 80 tons of olive oil in a year back in 1984, when it was destroyed afterwards.
Nangarhar olive oil factory is part of the massive Provincial Canal Project which processes agricultural products in the country.
Despite boost in the Afghan economy, the country still imports almost the entire goods from neigbour countries.
Economical experts say establishing factories and producing goods will impact on self-sufficiency of Afghanistan.

Expert praises California olive oil
Going green can mean picking the right olive oil and one expert on the oil says California’s premium olive oils are often worth the extra money.
University of California Cooperative Extension farm advisor Paul Vossen, an olive oil expert, says the state’s olive oil has a promising future if word of its many benefits is effectively shared with consumers.
“It’s not just an ordinary fat,” says Mr. Vossen. “Good olive oil imparts delicious, subtle flavors to foods, its antioxidants can neutralize free radicals in the body and it is ‘greener’ than other vegetable oils because it requires no heat or chemical extraction.”
Mr. Vossen says California olive oil is well worth the premium cost. The challenge will be convincing consumers that they should spend a little extra for the high-quality, healthful and tasty oils that California’s farmers produce, he says.
“Really good olive oil is something fairly new,” says Mr. Vossen. “It may take time for consumers to discover and appreciate the difference.”
