Nabulsiya urges Jordanians to delay olive harvest
The head of the Jordanian Pressed Oil Manufacturers Syndicate, Taysir Al-Najdawi, called on farmers to postpone their olive harvest until the end of October or the beginning of November, due to the fruit not being fully ripe and the impact this has on oil extraction rates. He explained that the delayed ripening has led to decreased production but improved oil quality once fully matured. Expectations are to produce more than 220,000 tons of olives and 30,000 tons of olive oil this season. Al-Najdawi advised against rushing to buy oil before November 5th to ensure quality, noting that selling prices range between 100 and 120 dinars per tank. He confirmed that most mills are ready and that inspection campaigns continue. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of ventilating the fruits after harvest and following proper storage and transportation methods to maintain oil quality.
