The Kalamata Agricultural Olive Cooperative did not sell 25 tons of their PDO olive oil due to potential buyers not meeting the cooperative's minimum price of 5.10 euros per kilo. This decision is seen as a way to increase the income of the producers, while Spanish producers continue to sell at lower prices. In contrast, Italian olive oil prices remain high, with extra virgin olive oil priced at 9.10 euros per kilo in some regions. Italian olive oil stocks also increased to 157,472 tons at the end of February 2025, with a decrease in domestically produced olive oil of 37.7% compared to the same month in 2024, but an increase in imported EU olive oils by 31.2%.
