The quantities of olive oil are not yet large, but, as it appears, Greek companies have firmly established themselves in the market for high-quality olive oil.
Mr. Sotiris Kritikos, president of the Agios Dimitrios Monemvasia Agricultural Olive Oil Cooperative, states in the AgroTypo that «today (ed. note: yesterday), Tuesday (Nov. 2), A tank of Athinoelia variety green olive oil was sold at a price of 4.20 euros per kilogram. The company that purchased it is Heliotis S.A. »We're still at the beginning of the harvest, and quantities are limited.".
On the other hand, In Messinia, producers are awaiting the new olive oil prices following a very poor year for raisins, which remain unsold in the hands of producers or have fetched prices below cost.
The harvest of the Mavroelia variety is currently underway. According to reports, Italian merchants arrived in the Pylos area and began negotiations for this year's olive oil.
