<pre>Dear Oscar

Thanks you for listing the per capita olive oil consumption in the USA.
I have used your data to generate the following trend patterns of annual
consumption. As you can see, the scale is going up and it will keep
growing.

I believe that olive oil consumption in the USA will keep increasing for a
great
while before it levels off. This is an opportunity for olive oil exporters
to
tap into this market and to create a brand identity and to establish a
market
share. There are many ways to tap into the USA market. I will leave the
discussion on the topic for a next message or for you the list members to
suggest and discuss.

In the mean time, if any one would like to share any other statistics for
other countries, such as Japan, Australia, or Argentina, please do so.

Best regards

Sadoun
