Extreme temperatures are pushing the future of the olive oil industry into slippery territory.
According to sector exports, scorching heat across Southern Europe has caused the region’s olive trees to drop their fruits and is expected to lead to the second consecutive poor olive harvest year in a row.
This could potentially result in global olive oil shortages and skyrocketing prices of olive oil products.
Without its bread and butter, the olive oil industry is certainly pressed for good news.
