Readings on the 2025 olive season and tips for a successful harvest season

Arab Weather - This year's olive season, 2025, is considered one of the weakest in terms of production for this blessed tree, as production rates are 40 to 50% lower than last season. This is attributed to the weak rainfall season in 2024/25, as less than 50% of the annual average of 450 mm of rain fell in Irbid Governorate, northern Jordan.

Koura District is home to the oldest olive oil factory and warehouse in the world, dating back 4,500 years.

Proverbs and the olive tree

The Syriac proverb says about the blessed olive tree's production:
(Last year and the year of tuna))
The explanation for this is that the “diamond” year is one in which the production of olive fruits is abundant and excellent, while the “shalton” year is one in which the production of olive fruits is very weak and the quantity of oil produced is very small when compared to the general normal rate. This model of belief is called “exchange of loads.”

General advice for olive growers

There is a common saying among farmers that the small quantities of fruits produced by trees, although small in number and size, are very oily, and farmers call them "Mizya", meaning "full of oil".
General advice for olive growers.
Therefore, it is recommended not to harvest olives for this season, 2025, until after October 15th, so that the fruit ripens and the maximum amount of blessed olive oil is obtained.

It is also recommended after the harvest season to fertilize with organic manure, prune as needed, and plough carefully to benefit from every drop of water that falls during the next rainy season, God willing.
We ask God Almighty to bestow upon us the blessing of rain and rain to compensate the olive trees for what they missed due to drought during the long, hot, and dry summer season.
