Despite the pressure of the Spanish overproduction to the markets, Greek prices for extrissima olive oils of very good organoleptic characteristics stand above 2,90 € / kg.

The latest auctions from agricultural cooperatives in Laconia, Peloponnese, ranged between 2,91-2,95 € / kg .

For lampante olive oil prices fell at 1,70 € / kg, due to the record production in Spain and the wave of imports in Greece.

Similar pressures feel the virgin olive oils category, where prices continued downwards to 2,20 € / kg.

All eyes are now focused at the new harvest and everybody hopes for a normal fruit set.

Composting is a method for preparing organic fertilizers that represents a suitable management option for the recycling of two-phase olive mill waste (TPOMW) in agriculture.

Four different composts were prepared by mixing TPOMW with different agro-industrial by-products (olive pruning, sheep manure and horse manure), which were used either as bulking agents or as N sources.

The mature composts were added during six consecutive years to a typical “Picual” olive tree grove in the Jaén province (Spain).
