Welcome to OlivesInFact

Research indicates that, worldwide, there is a significant shortfall between the production of and the demand for quality table olives. This presents a great opportunity for the newer olive producing countries, especially those regions with higher rainfall than in many of the traditional olive growing areas like Spain and North Africa. Table olives need the extra rain to plump out and become attractive and desirable fare, in contrast to the oil cultivars, the product of which is compromised by too much rain.

I believe the South African olive producers should use this opportunity to carve a name for ourselves as a significant table olive producing country. We have the right climate, we have the space and we are still able to pick the harvest by hand. Let's do it!

We specialize in energy-saving, simple solutions, without compromising our main objective - to produce the best quality table fruit.
