Olive oil production: promising figures for Béjaïa
The province of Béjaïa has harvested 111,000 quintals of olives on 8,723 hectares. This includes 480 quintals of table olives and 110,456 quintals of olive oil.
The processing of 37,189 quintals of olives has produced 7,132 litres of oil, with an average yield of 19.18 litres per quintal, a significant improvement on the previous season when some orchards reported yields as low as 6 litres per quintal.
Success factors and key areas
Yields as high as 25 litres per quintal were recorded in the main olive-growing areas of the Soummam Valley, including Sidi Aich, Seddouk, Akbou, Ighil Ali and Tazmalt. September rains revitalised olive trees and improved fruit quality after a prolonged drought.
A major olive-growing area in Algeria
With 5.1 million olive trees on 52,000 hectares and 400 olive mills, Béjaïa remains a cornerstone of the Algerian olive industry. The harvest, which will continue until January 2025, is a source of hope for producers, helping to stabilise the olive oil supply on the market.
