The olive fruit harvest is in progress throughout the country.
Although there was a good start this year, the market did not seem to give high prices. However, many growers claim that there are significant problems in cultivation costs and in the fact that olive oil does not give them the necessary income to support their families.
There seems to be reduced outcome, but good quality in the district of Messinia (province of Peloponnese). Harvesting takes place, but there is lack of land workers. As Mr. Giannis Zontanos, head of Agricultural Cooperative of Messina states in AgroTypos, at this time there is reduced commercial activity by Italians, while prices for good quality olive oil range between 2.40 - 2.70 euros per kilo.
