Provided lower production of olive oil in fifty years!

Unprecedented decline in oil production and consequently farm income expected this year in Crete according to data relevant departments posing outside dakoktonias one after the other olive-growing areas, since there is no fruit to be sprayed!

First time at least the last fifty years facing Crete as big a problem in the production of olive oil, as they say experienced agronomists and old farmers. Feature of the situation is that in Heraklion expected output reaches only 20,000 tons, and an average year is 50,000 tons. The prefectures of Rethymno and Lassithi dakoktonia will become just the fifth of the trees! Somewhat better see the situation in the prefecture of Chania.

But every passing day the image of the olive oil in Crete becomes worse. Even the most experienced agronomists rub their eyes to the situation we face.

In Heraklion, except dakoktonias since no olives will stay the north coast at a distance to the mainland about 15 km. But there are whole areas at the head of Heraklion not fruit. Farmers, for the first time they hear that their villages (eg Venerato) will not be dakoprostasia and stunned! Full list of villages in the prefecture of Heraklion where they will not become dakoktonia not yet drafted, which will be the immediately following days.

In Lassithi and according to the information the department will be dakoktonia to 1.6 million trees a total of 5.7 million trees. The entire rural area of Agios​​. Nikolaos will stay out as large oil producing regions municipalities Ierapetra and Sitia.


In the prefecture of Rethymno be sprayed only 1 million trees a total of 5,000,000. Besides dakoktonias out large oil producing regions in Rethymnon and the rest will be dakoktonia to 50%.

Somewhat better, but still extremely difficult, and the image appears in Chania where you will not be sprayed on trees in 1.350.000 total 7,171,500 trees. And though there will be spraying schedule dakoktonias is' in the air! ". In most provinces not finalized the tender process for contractors pagidothetes, in some cases, the competition for contractors dakoktonias has left barren, with no problem and supplying drugs! All words are hurdles!

Only the prefectures of Heraklion and Chania has begun and will be completed in a few days the first bait spray. It could not even start the dakoktonia, although we are the first days of July.

Moreover, according to agronomists problem will face and the few areas that will produce this year because we all fly populations will gather them. Consequently, the attention of agronomists, contractors dakoktonias and producers themselves need to be increased.
