<pre>Dear Mr. or Mrs.
I am Erdem Hacýman. I am from Turkey. I am a farmer that produce the
olive oil in the Aegean Region. In my country, there are some
exporters that buy our products,give any informations about the real
market prices in the worldwide. I have no idea about the prices. I
get this address from JAMAL SADOUN in the net. ý am really sorry
about this situation, because the other farmers have no
idea,eather.This is the net and I hope I will have many friends more
than I expected. I want to learn the current crop rate of the olive
oil in Spain, Italy and Greece, and the current market prices of the
poured olive oil.I really appreciated ýf you help me. I already
thankful to you.

I welcome you to the list and I have no doubt that what you may learn will
be of interest. My home page (address below) will give you some idea of the
prices at a retail level that are commanded (altho often not reached).

"I hope I will have many friends more than I expected." This is a very
strong and robust group. The answers you get here will be truthful, honest
but will have a very healthy divergence of opinion. I do hope you end up
with more friends than you expected.

In Australia extra virgin olive oil can be purchased for $AUD8 up to
$AUD25/litre. Even more. But Australia is not indicative of world prices
because we have very little fruit about to process and we have to pay
premium prices for it. Up to $AUD1500/tonne. This will change in the
coming years as we new plantations coming on line over the next few years.

I understand the benchmark price in the United States to be around
$US5/litre for high quality oil ($AUD10) but I stand to be corrected on
this. Anyone in the States illuminate us on the going rate?

<pre>Dear Peter:

Prices in the US depend on country of origin, region,
method of production, quality, etc...etc....

As a point of reference and to assist Erdem to
understand the complexity of pricing his olive oil, I
would like to state that I am currently selling to my
clients a certified organic, extra virgin olive oil
from Andalusia at US $600 (FOB) per 55 gallon drum and
I was offered to promote a Californian, certified
organic, extra virgin olive oil at US $1,400 (FOB) per
55 gallon drum. The Californian olive oil price that I
quoted did not include my margins as a whole-seller.
Both olive oils are of excellent quality.

I hope that this is of assistance.

Best regards,

Constantine
