Palestinian Villages Prepare for 2026 Olive Harvest
Palestinians are preparing for the 2026 olive harvest season amid increasingly complicated circumstances due to escalating attacks on agricultural lands and restrictions imposed in areas near settlements and settlement outposts. The Ministry of Agriculture sets the harvesting dates, but challenges arise related to organizing access to the lands, especially as attacks have led to the closure or restriction of access to large areas, amounting to around 150,000 dunams of olive trees. Last season saw approximately 450 assaults by settlers. Emphasis is placed on the importance of prior coordination with relevant authorities, organizing harvesting groups, and ensuring safety through local plans and communication with occupation forces. The goal is to enable farmers to reach their lands and carry out the season safely and efficiently. The season is expected to yield about 21,000 tons of olive oil, but the risks associated with attacks and security challenges may impact the quantities produced. Ultimately, the success of the season largely depends on farmers' ability to access their trees and organize the harvest process effectively, while safeguarding lands and farmers' rights.
