Re: World distribution of Olive trees/production ?

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>Dear Nigel:

I don't believe that Spain produces 90% of the world's olive oil. Spain's crop
this year is about 1.6 million tons, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Tunisia and
Morocco are major producers, they produce anywhere from 400,000 ton to 150,000
tons.

We are exporting large quantities from Syria to Italy and Spain in bulk, they
bottle it and sell it as Italian and Spanish olive oil.
