The Community of Madrid is taking steps to combat the rising theft of olives from farmlands, with a planned line of direct aid for olive groves and a plan to verify the origin of olives transported for storage. This comes in response to the significant increase in thefts due to the higher price of olives. A meeting with ASAJA and the Civil Guard is scheduled to address the situation, and the regional government is also pushing for more Civil Guard deployment and a detailed action plan from the central administration.
