The Israeli war, ongoing since 2023, caused Gaza’s olive sector to collapse during the 2026 season. The cultivated area shrank from around 50,000 dunums to 5,000, while the number of trees fell from nearly two million to 150,000. Olive production dropped from 40,000 tonnes a year to 5,000, and olive oil production from 5,000 tonnes to about 700—leaving the sector with a food deficit approaching 85 percent, after previously being self-sufficient. The destruction also hit production chains: the number of olive presses fell from 40 to seven, and the number of farmers involved in the sector from 20,000 to 1,000. Meanwhile, the price of a kilo of olives rose from five shekels to around 20.
