At the close of the 2012/13 crop year, olive oil imports by the United States, the world’s top importer of olive oil and table olives, totaled 298828 t, recording a decrease of 6% from the season before level.
The US imports share of the EU as a whole dropped 10 points between 2011/12 and 2012/13, falling from 81% to 71%.
In all probability, this was caused by lower production in Spain.
