Sidi Bouzid Olive Harvest Reaches 350,000 Tons
It is expected that the olive oil production in the Sidi Bouzid Governorate will reach approximately 350,000 tons this season, which is about 150,000 tons less than the previous season due to harsh weather conditions. The cultivated areas include 307,000 hectares of olive groves, representing 41% of the total area in the governorate and 90% of the fruit-bearing trees, with over 23 million olive trees, including more than 5,000 hectares of organic farming. The production primarily depends on the irrigated sector, which accounts for 54% of the olive-growing areas. The season is expected to start in the latter half of October, with early preparations by concerned authorities to ensure oil quality and adherence to proper harvesting and transportation techniques.
