Even commercial producers barely break even so this is hardly a surprise. According to UC Davis whitepapers olive oil production is the surest way to lose money as a grower in California.
- jjeaff 10y agoThat might not be the case if it weren't for all the fakes dragging prices down.
- chongli 10y agoThat just means there is an untapped marketing opportunity here. An artisanal brand of high quality olive oil could do very well in the Bay Area.
