Spanish olive oil under constant threat from climate change

Spanish olive oil output has doubled in the last 10 years, but ongoing drought and climate change may mean a setback for the global leader in ‘liquid gold’ production. Spain produces 46% of the world’s olive oil, a total that has increased from 28% in 2002. However, it is now being suggested that the countries production may fall to the same fate as fellow olive oil producing powerhouses Greece and Italy due to the effects of climate change.
