Spain withholds 12% of olive oil harvest to stabilize prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Spain's agriculture ministry has ordered olive oil producers to withhold 12% of their harvest, a move unprecedented in the industry. This decision aims to stabilize prices and ensure farmer profitability following a projected 23% increase in production due to favorable weather. However, concerns exist that storing the oil for extended periods could degrade its quality, and the measure may have limited impact on global prices as other countries are not subject to the same restrictions.
