Market softening amid buyer pause
After several weeks of very low activity, bulk EVOO prices have eased. February proved nearly static for the olive oil market, largely due to cost increases, creating uncertainty and slowed trading across major producing countries. The absence of buyers has prompted producers to make minor price reductions to encourage orders.
Despite this correction, a new price floor has emerged, providing stability and reducing the risk of further sharp declines. Current trends indicate that the market is normalizing, with lower prices possibly setting the stage for renewed activity.
Spain
Spanish EVOO bulk prices have adjusted over the past month, showing relative stability after a long period of elevated pricing. Prices are not expected to surpass €5/kg.
Lampante olive oil prices are declining due to an abundant supply, and are likely to dip below €3/kg next month. Refined olive oil is priced around €3.20–3.30/kg, with minor downward pressure on pomace prices (€1.95/kg).
Forecasts suggest February production could reach 180,000–200,000 tonnes, supporting expectations of around 1.37 million tonnes for the season.
Italy
Italy is returning to the market after weeks of inactivity. Traders report renewed buyer inquiries, with farmers lowering prices to stimulate orders. This indicates the market is returning to a more balanced state and could see steady demand in the coming weeks.
- EVOO: €6.40-7.00/kg.
Greece
Market activity remains slow due to weak demand. Prices are slightly lower than last week, and the short-term trend remains slightly downward amid limited buyer interest.
Tunisia
Prices have risen significantly, reducing buying among smaller traders, though major companies continue to make purchases.
