Mediterranean Olive Growers Meet in Split

ZAGREB, February 24, 2018 – The 15th edition of an international two-day conference of olive growers began in Split on Saturday, bringing together 750 participants from eight Mediterranean countries.

Opening the event, Assistant Agriculture Minister Krunoslav Karolić said that 22,000 farms and businesses were included in the Croatian olive growing sector. He added that the olive growing sector and olive oil production were of strategic importance for Croatia’s agriculture.

In May 2017, the House of Istrian Olive Oil, the first olive growing museum in Croatia, opened in the northern coastal town of Pula, presenting the history of olive growing and manufacturing in Istria and elsewhere in Croatia, as well as providing tasting and education.

Istria has 1.5 million olive trees and 160 olive oil producers, and it boasts of internationally renowned extra virgin olive oil.
