Project Objectives
Designed to address challenges in traditional olive production, this agricultural model aims to:
- Increase productivity
- Reduce costs and labor
- Achieve early production
- Obtain high-quality olive oil
Implemented Work
- The innovative olive production model was implemented using a trial orchard with Agromillora Arbequina variety saplings.
- A total of 378 olive trees were planted on a 2.5-decare area.
Benefits
- The high-density model allows more olive trees per unit area, resulting in higher yields.
- Fully mechanized planting and maintenance processes reduce labor costs and provide economic advantages for producers.
- The high-density method enables earlier fruiting, allowing investments to return quickly.
- Reduced labor requirements help mitigate increasing agricultural costs.
- Row-based harvesting machines were used to fully automate olive harvesting, producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
