THE XYLELLA OUTBREAK IN SALENTO (SOUTH APULIA) KILLED MILLIONS OF CENTENARY OLIVE TREES SINCE 2013

Unsustainable Economy

UNSUSTAINABLE ECONOMY

Only current uses of the olive trees waste: pellet for biomasses or fire wood.

 

The huge quantity of wood produced by the dead trees is now sold for cheap (less of 1/3 of usual market price) or given for free, causing a great harm for the local economy of land owners/olive oil producers.

 

1 BLN LOSS

for the olive oil industry since 2013 - huge loss for producers  who no longer have the olive oil revenue, but also cannot afford to replant (costs > current incentives and benefits)
