Olive harvest starts as farmers lose land
The Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture announced the dates for harvesting and pressing olives for the 2026 season, with an expected production of approximately 21,000 tons of olive oil. This quantity will meet local market demand and allow for export, including the possibility of importing oil into Gaza Strip. The schedule for harvesting different types of olives has been set, starting on October 15th for Baladi Nabulsi fruits and September 20th for Kabis olives, while the mills will begin operation on October 11th for maintenance and preparations. Farmers face restrictions preventing them from accessing their lands due to checkpoints and settlements, risking the agricultural season, threatening their livelihoods, and increasing losses. These measures come alongside efforts to support and organize farmers, unifying their efforts and providing community protection for the season.
