About olives

cpc code 0145 covers the production and processing of olives, a versatile fruit that has been a staple in Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. Olives and olive oil are not only essential culinary ingredients, but also play a significant role in the global agricultural economy. The olive industry encompasses a wide range of activities, from cultivation and harvesting to processing, packaging, and distribution, making it an important contributor to both local and international trade.

Production process

The production of olives involves several key steps. First, olive trees are carefully cultivated, often in regions with a Mediterranean climate. Olives are typically harvested by hand or with the aid of mechanical harvesters, with the timing of the harvest depending on the desired characteristics of the final product. Once harvested, the olives are processed, which may involve washing, sorting, and crushing to extract the oil. Depending on the intended use, the olives may be cured, fermented, or packaged for sale as table olives.

Production inputs

The olive industry relies on a variety of inputs, including fertile land, suitable climate, and access to water for irrigation. Specialized machinery, such as harvesters, crushers, and packaging equipment, is also essential for efficient production and processing. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce to manage the various stages of cultivation, harvesting, and processing.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the olive industry are olive oil and table olives. Olive oil is a versatile product used in cooking, baking, and as a health supplement, and is often consumed by 2023 Food Manufacturing and 4422 Retail Trade industries. Table olives, on the other hand, are a popular snack and ingredient in a wide range of dishes, and are commonly consumed by 4422 Retail Trade and 7225 Restaurants and Other Eating Places industries.
