Olive
ECONOMIC AND MARKET VALUE
Secure investment
Investing in modern and sustainable olive plantations allows for high long-term profitability.
Rapid return on investment
At BOLSCHARE we set the objective of recovering the investment in the first three years, achieving in the third year of planting that the crop enters into stable production with high average yields.
Consumption and production
World olive oil production by country
Few producers
Olive growing is present in more than 40 countries. It is important to note that 97.9% of world production is concentrated in the Mediterranean basin.
The recommendation to ensure successful production is to cultivate in latitudes between 30º and 40º.
Until a few years ago, crops were cultivated in the traditional way, reaching maximum densities of 150 plants per hectare. BOLSCHARE goes much further in its SES olive grove plantations, with more plants per hectare, highly mechanized and producing superior quality olive oils at low cost.
Mechanical harvesting
There are many advantages of high mechanization in the work and treatment of an olive grove, from obtaining a higher percentage of extra virgin olive oil, a much more effective control of pests, diseases or nutrition, to a significant reduction in operating costs.
Prices
World olive oil consumption exceeds production, which directly affects the continuous increase in prices.
Demand and Consumption in the world
The increase in olive oil consumption is the most relevant among vegetable oils worldwide. Until now, consumers have been inclined to other oils, such as palm oil (40%), soybean oil (28%), canola oil (13.5%) and sunflower oil (9.5%), among others.
Global olive oil consumption is higher than production, so there is still a long way to go, and while China or Japan, with large populations, are joining the list of consumers of this delicious and beneficial elixir.
