After the weakest rainy season in decades, the olive season is witnessing the lowest production in 20 years.

Arab Weather - Coinciding with the weakest rainfall in decades, the head of the Syndicate of Olive Press Owners and Producers, Muhammad al-Najdawi, announced that the current olive season is witnessing the lowest production in nearly 20 years, with production expected to range between 18,000 and 20,000 tons only.

Al-Najdawi pointed out that the scarcity of rainfall during the past fall and winter months, coupled with high temperatures, directly impacted the growth and quality of olives, making the current season weaker compared to previous seasons.

He emphasized that climate change and increased drought have contributed to an unprecedented reduction in crop yields, noting that the agricultural sector faces significant challenges that require government support through innovative irrigation solutions and close monitoring of weather conditions to minimize losses.

It's worth noting that the last rainy season saw the lowest rainfall in decades, negatively impacting various agricultural crops and having a significant impact on olive production in Jordan.

And God knows best.
