Syria's estimated 955K tons of olive production
The Syrian Ministry of Agriculture estimates the current olive harvest season to produce approximately 955,000 tons from about 90.7 million fruit-bearing trees spanning a total area of 678 hectares. Improved rainfall conditions have contributed to increased fruit growth and higher oil yields. Olive trees are mainly distributed across the provinces of Aleppo, Idlib, and Homs, with various varieties that differ in oil content, some reaching 30-32 percent. It is expected that around 190,000 tons of olive oil will be produced, with an extraction rate of 25 percent. The olive tree remains an important crop in Syria, with ongoing efforts to preserve local varieties and promote organic olive oil production through genetic fingerprinting studies and expanding markets for high-quality products.
