Consulting and transfer

Spain is the world’s leading producer of olive oil and table olives. These respective productions account for approximately half of the global olive oil production and around 21% of table olive production. The transition from traditional olive cultivation systems to intensive and super internisve systems must be well-managed, enabling small and medium-sized olive farms to undertake this transformation with a high likelihood of success.

At CEIGRAM, our specialists in olive cultivation management collaborate nationally and internationally with producers, associations and companies in the sector. Their work focuses on understanding how climate affects olive varieties, analyzing yield variability across different harvest seasons, improving knowledge of phenology, identifying “critical” moments for treatments and fertilization, enhancing harvest forecasting methods, and optimizing irrigation water use to maximize production in the face of climate change.
