Olive Season Wages Expected to Rise After 12 Years
The head of the Association of Oil Pressers and Olive Oil Producers, Taysir Al-Najdawi, expected that the increase in olive oil extraction wages during this season would range between 5% and 10%. This is due to rising operating and maintenance costs, although these remain relatively limited compared to the increases. He explained that wages have remained stable for the past 12 years at 65 piastres per kilogram, despite rising costs. He also stated that this year's season is expected to produce around 30,000 tons, with an anticipated surplus that could cover the local consumption of between 25,000 and 28,000 tons. Additionally, he mentioned that the price of olive oil will be determined based on supply and demand, with an expected range of 90 to 110 dinars per tank, emphasizing the priority of meeting the domestic market before export.
