India: Fresh stocks of imported olive oil yet to arrive
Consumers anticipating a decline in olive oil prices post duty reduction will have to wait for a few more days as fresh stocks imported after April 1 have not yet reached the market.
“We expect olive oil prices to go down by around 15 per cent, but a clear picture will emerge by mid-May because the fresh stocks imported after April 1 are still in transit and have not reached the market,” Indian Olive Association president V N Dalmia told PTI.
Pointing out that fall in prices of olive oil is subject to exchange rates remaining stable, he said much of the benefit of the duty reduction has been negated due to the recent appreciation of euro by almost 15 per cent.
“Euro has appreciated from Rs 55-63 in the last six months, wiping out the benefit margin that the industry could have otherwise passed on to consumers,” Dalmia said.

Origin of Olives in South Africa
In 1902, after completing his studies at Saint Illario Agricultural College in Genoa, Ferdinando Costa arrived in Cape Town to assist his brother Raphael, who had set up a successful nursery in Wynberg. After a few years, Ferdinando was able to obtain his own small piece of land opposite the new Fernwood Estate in Newlands . He called it Union Nursery and it is here that the first olives were cultivated in the Cape Province.
Obtaining scions of the best cultivars from his former associates at the St Illario Institute, he was then able to graft onto our wild olive, which at the time was growing all over the foothills of the Boland area.
He was also able to obtain varieties from Australia and California . After successfully cultivating some 10000 trees, Ferdinando bought a 22ha fruit farm on a gently sloping hill at Huguenot near Paarl.

Interview with VN Dalmia, President of the Indian Olive Oil Association
President Dalmia, India decided to invest so much in olive oil market. Somebody is talking about a new Olive orchard model in the area called Rajasthan. Particularly they are intentioned to invest using very modern and high technologically irrigated systems. Why are you spending so much attention to olive cultivation?
In reality, I do not think that India is paying great attention to olive cultivation. The interest and attention is only just starting now. The entrepreneurs who are investing in olive cultivation now are courageous entrepreneurs because they are doing something new in India. There is no precedent, yet they are bravely taking a risk. It will be 2013 or later that their investments will begin to provide returns. The Rajasthan project is a pioneering project and the first of its kind in India.
In Rajasthan, the project is being undertaken in collaboration with an Israeli producer of olive oil. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan state, on a visit to a kibbutz in Israel, was impressed by their olive cultivation using drip irrigation for dry land farming in difficult circumstances, conditions similar to the dry desert state of Rajasthan. She was impressed enough to invite Israeli collaboration for similar projects in Rajasthan. At present, the project is only a pilot project on 250 hectares of land where the State Government of Rajasthan has provided the land, the Israeli firm has provided the technical expertise and an Indian firm has provided the seed capital. So it is a 3-way collaboration. Since this is the first project, it cannot be said that we are paying great attention to olive cultivation. At present, it is merely a trickle.
