Staggering losses expected for county growers
By Aaron Burgin,
The limbs on olive trees along both sides of Spruce Road usually hang like weeping willows this time of the year.
Normally, they are heavy with the black, ovular fruit that pickers will harvest in two weeks.
This year is different. There are no olives.
“I’ve got 14 acres here, and I’m surrounded by 400 acres of olives, and there is nothing on the trees,” said Richard Curts, a retired olive grower. “We’ve got a major disaster on our hands.”

Extra virgin olive oil by Manfredi
By Steve Manfredi,
When it comes to oil, I have a preference for extra virgin olive oil. Whether it’s for cooking, dipping or dressing, no other oil will do. There are still some people who advise against cooking with this oil because, they say, it burns easily. Its high smoking-point is 210C, well above the ideal frying temperature of 180C.
But it must be extra virgin, the unadulterated oil from pressed olives. At home, you’ll benefit from having two or three different olive oils. The first is an all-round cheaper one for frying fish, rubbing on a lamb leg before roasting, tossing through vegetables before baking and frying chips.

[Pakistan] Plea for large-scale olive cultivation: Potential seen for $3.5bn export
A study conducted by the NWFP agriculture research centre says that the province can earn $3.5 billion annually from export of olive oil by bringing under olive cultivation the high rainfall areas of the province.
“Two million acres of cultivable wastelands and uncultivated forest area can be brought under olive cultivation in the high rainfall zone of the NWFP and if olive produced from there is exported at a minimum value of $2,000 per ton, exports can earn nearly $3.5 billion annually,” said a study of the NWFP underlying a strategic framework for the province to achieve economic growth through private investment.
