The EC expects the production of olive oil to fall in Spain next season and increase in Italy, Greece and Portugal
The European Commission (EC) foresees that the climatic conditions support the recovery of production in Italy and Greece and sustain the growing trend of Portugal in the 2019/20 campaign; while in Spain, the absence of water and the natural interannual alternation of olive trees could lead to a level of production below the average of the last five years.
