| Abstract: | Olive production in Italy was hard hit last year due to an early frost. The country’s production dropped by 57 percent. Greece and Portugal suffered similar fates, along with pest issues, and saw their production drop by 35 and 15 percent, respectively. Short food supplies generate economically-motivated adulteration. |
