Welcome to the first and only directory for the Southern African Olive Industry.

The industry has experienced a remarkable growth over the last ten years elevating to an independent industry of substance. All indications are that the next decade wil be even more prolific and exciting.

The harvest in 2010 has been extremely disappointing with only a few growers recording meaningful production figures. This will pose significant challenges to the industry as a whole over the next 10 months. Present weather conditions (2010), with many cold spells, may encourage a good fruiting season next year.

Now for the good news! Consumers' thirst for knowledge on olive products continues unabated. We need more information sessions, tasting sessions, courses and workshops in all regions of the country.

Thank you to all who took the plunge with us. We will do our utmost to ensure expansion and continuity. We welcome input and suggestions to make this Directory  as relevant as possible and ultimately indispensable to all those involved and interested in the industry.

Anybody who would like to participate is very welcome. We invite you to either contact us directly or to complete the listing application on the Contact Us page.
