A report by the ICQRF reveals that as of May 31, 2023, Italy's olive oil stocks stood at 255,181 tons, with 73.0% being extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Italian EVOO makes up 48.9% of the total, while Community origin EVOO accounts for 41.4%. The southern regions, particularly Apulia and Calabria, are the main storage areas. However, stocks have decreased by 18.7% from the previous year, largely due to a drop in EVOO and olive pomace oil. Organic farming has seen a 24.9% decrease in organic EVOO stocks. The report also notes a shift towards lampante and refined olive oils.
