Turkish olive growers emulate Spain
Turkish olive and olive oil exporters examine factories in the Spanish cities of Madrid, Seville and Cordoba that meet 51 percent of total global demand for olive oil, and hold meetings with representatives of the Olive and Olive Oil Exporters Association, the Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives and prominent olive and olive oil producers in the region
By Serdar Alyamac,
The delegation of Turkish olive producers and exporters watch over the harvesting of olives in Spain.
Turkish olive growers, seeking new ways to survive in today’s rapidly growing global market, have finally decided that emulating the world’s No.1 olive and olive oil producer and exporter, Spain, is the best option to strengthen their position.
After having their demand for free olive oil imports through the Inward Processing Regime (IPO) rejected, Turkey’s Aegean Olive and Olive Oil Exporters Association visited Spain with a group of the country’s olive producers to find a solution to the recent bottleneck in Turkey’s olive and olive oil sector. IPO is a system that enables Turkish producers and exporters to obtain raw materials and intermediate unfinished goods used in the production of exports without paying customs duty and without being subjected to commercial policy measures.

A store about olive and nothing else in Toronto

If you think the new Olive and Olive Oil shop is the ultimate in niche shopping, consider this: Not only is every item in the store olive-based, but it all comes from one small village in Northern Turkey.
Mehmet Uzel, who opened Toronto’s first olive-only store just off the Danforth in Riverdale a month ago, imports his product from his hometown, a small village just outside the port town of Gemlick, Turkey.
His family has been cultivating and curing olives on the steep Turkish hills in the traditional way for generations.
“As a kid big guys came to my family village to buy our olives to sell them for more money in Europe.” said Mr. Uzel. “I thought, I can do that.”
So began a journey that brought the young man to the United States and then to Canada. After seven years of saving money working in construction Mr. Uzel is finally realizing his dream of selling his family’s olives internationally.
“It’s always been on my mind to come to Canada because it’s an international country,” he said. “From Canada I can sell my olives all over the world.”

Algérie, chute de la production de l’huile d’olive
Par S. Djelloul,
Désormais, la production d’huile d’olive au niveau de la wilaya d’Aïn-Témouchent, devient une actualité agricole. Cette année 2007, elle a atteint une quantité de 27 307 quintaux en enregistrant une nette baisse si l’on compare les 35 000 qx récoltés en 2006.
Il est à constater que la catégorie d’olive de table est dominante avec 20 360 qx.
Les huileries absorbent les 6 947 qx pour être transformés en huile d’olive dont la production est estimée à 85 000 l jugée très insuffisante par rapport à la forte demande des Témouchentois.
Concernant les causes de ce recul en production, les services agricoles de la wilaya (DSA) citent l’arrachage massif des anciennes plantations d’oliviers datant de l’ère coloniale, le manque de sérieux dans le travail sérieux et l’absence de suivi voire même l’absence d’engrais et pour terminer les conditions climatiques défavorables à l’agriculture.
