Fayad warns farmers on rain and fruit flies
The Director General of the Palestinian Olive Council, Fayyad Fayyad, stated that recent rains in the Palestinian territories have contributed to improving the quality of the olive harvest by washing the leaves and fruits from dust, thus enhancing oil production efficiency and ensuring cleaner fruits before pressing. The rains and breezes also helped rejuvenate the olive beads and stimulated the growth of autumn buds, which influence the size of the flowers and the yield for the upcoming season. However, he warned that increased humidity raises the risk of olive fruit fly infestation, which is considered the primary enemy of the crop. He called on farmers to quickly install traps to combat the fly and prevent the oil from becoming high in acidity or oxidized, which would lead to a decline in the quality of the final product.
