Report Reveals Growing Number of Olive Producers in Northern Italy

WHY DO WE IMPORT SO MANY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES? WHAT ABOUT GREENHOUSES...? If, say, Canada has so much tundra/snow but lots of huge, adapted greenhouses, producing so much food for export including to the USA... And the USA having a variety of weather patterns per state and a supply of water for the most part... while too much heat during so many months... why aren't more greenhouses adapted to meet our weather/temperatures leaving out insects and other pests withour harmful chemicals? Lemons and avocados now cost $2 each. I see so many tomatoes coming from Canada at fair prices all year round... As I was ready to publish the above, I searched for Canadian exports to the USA and the following came up... Though written in 2016 it appears to still hold true: "How Canada Became A Greenhouse Superpower : The Salt-- Jun 16, 2016 — Canada, despite its cold weather, ships more fresh tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to the U.S. than we send the other way. How?"

The Riverina valley in New South Wales is often referred to as the “food bowl of Australia.” It is renowned for its production of key commodities such as wheat, canola, and fruits like oranges, cherries, and strawberries. The oranges from this region are particularly notable for their three distinctive qualities: juice content, size, and sweetness, in addition to being seedless. The Riverina is Australia’s largest citrus-growing region, with approximately 8,510 hectares dedicated to citrus cultivation, accounting for 30% of the country’s total citrus production. Key towns in the Riverina region include Griffith, Leeton, and Hillston. The region’s extensive processing units, silos, logistics and storage facilities accord it a unique importance in ensuring Australia’s food security. These towns are well connected to the rest of the country by rail and road, with food silos and storage stations conveniently located near railway lines, ensuring efficient mobility of goods. Pakistan can learn valuable lessons from this region, as it faces high levels of grain and fruit wastage. The declining productivity of citrus in Pakistan, especially, highlights the need for emulating successful agricultural models like those seen in Griffith. Griffith is known for producing oranges year-round, with the summer variety called Valencia and the winter variety known as Navel. A Pakistani from Sangla Hill and has been associated with fruit farming in Griffith for the past three decades. Oranges produced at his farm are exported to Japan and South Korea, while grapes are exported to Japan, Hong Kong, China, and other countries. There is a need to replace the existing Kinnow plants with newer varieties and collaboration between Sargodha and Griffith can play a magical role in revitalizing the entire orange(mandarin) sector of Pakistan. This can be achieved by enhancing collaboration between the farmers of both areas through the exchange of knowledge and expertise. #cultivation #orange #orangefruit #Pakistan #australia #Sargodha #Griffith

Spain 🇪🇸 The World’s Largest Producer Of Olive Oil Spanish olive oil is the best known in the world, for both its quality and the flavor generated by the climate and soils of Spain. Spain is the biggest producer of olive oil in the world. It has more than 6.5 million acres of olive groves and is responsible for almost 50% of the global production of olive oil. Competitive Advantage: Spain have over 300 million of olive trees, with a perfect Mediterranean climate ideal for olive trees to flourish, high-tech harvesting techniques, and dozens of olive oil varieties, as it is no surprise that Spain ranks high among the world’s largest producers of olive oil. However, the heatwaves and drought have been crippling olive oil production in the recent years. With demand at an all-time high and supply heavily constrained, consumers of the liquid gold around the world will be paying more for olive oil. It was reported that, big supermarkets are taking advantage of the situation as they are making huge profits at the expense of consumers by making a 59% margin over the initial price.
