LOW YIELDS AND GOOD FRUIT FOR A MID-LOW CAMPAIGN
Even with the campaign to end, we can already draw conclusions regarding its development..
In terms of quantity, it will be very close to previous campaigns (around 17 million kilos) Due to the fact that more olives have entered the area of Jerez and Arcos than in past years, and this has partially alleviated the decline that has occurred in the Sierra.
Yields have been lower than in past seasons due to the lack of rainfall at critical moments in the development of the crop.: in spring during fruit formation and in autumn during lipogenesis (fat formation period). This fact is common to all olive oil production areas in Andalusia..
By cons, the olive has had an excellent phytosanitary status, as there are no conditions for pest or disease attack.
The campaign has developed very quickly due to the lack of rain, that have not impeded the collection work.
