Shortage of olive seedlings in Spain, high demand for intensive Picual

The agriculture sector is witnessing a significant shift due to a combination of factors including soaring olive oil prices, heightened interest from private equity firms, and a growing inclination among farmers towards cultivating less water-intensive crops. These developments are collectively propelling an increase in the demand for new saplings, indicating a broader change in farming practices and crop preferences. This trend reflects the sector's response to both economic incentives and environmental considerations, highlighting an adaptive strategy to current challenges.
