Spain’s olive oil market
Market activity in Spain’s olive oil market remains subdued, with limited buying and selling reported over the past week. Most participants appear adequately covered in the short term, reducing procurement urgency.
Stock levels are sufficient to meet current demand, preventing any immediate supply pressure. However, availability is balanced rather than abundant, which continues to support price stability.
The majority of stocks remain in producers’ hands, with selling activity at origin still restrained. Producer selling decisions in the coming weeks will play a key role in determining price direction and broader market momentum.
Olive oil outputs remain high, although bottlers continue to show little urgency in the market, reflecting comfortable coverage positions.
On the production side, the 2025/2026 harvest is now expected to fall below the previously forecast 1.37 million tonnes, with current estimates closer to 1.3 million tonnes.
Olive oil prices remain largely unchanged compared to the previous week, indicating a stable market overall. The exception is lampante olive oil, where prices have increased slightly despite limited buying interest.

Greece’s olive oil market
Market activity in Greece remains subdued, with limited transactions as both buyers and sellers adopt a cautious stance.
The 2025/2026 harvest was relatively small, meaning available stocks will need to last until the next crop year.
Supply remains tight, with producers continuing to hold back volumes, restricting availability at origin. On the demand side, buyers—including Italian operators—are purchasing only what is required for immediate needs, keeping overall trading volumes low.
As a result, olive oil prices remain high and have not moved since last week.

Italy's olive oil market
Market activity in Italy remains low, with trading volumes limited as both buyers and sellers remain cautious. Producers are showing reluctance to release volumes, which continues to support a firm market tone.
EVOO prices have gone up slightly compared to last week, now in the range of €6.50–€7.20 per kilogram. The market’s relative stability reflects limited transactions and producers' conservative stance in the current environment.
Tunisia's olive oil market
Market activity in Tunisia remains steady, though olive oil prices are now higher than at the start of the harvest, reflecting firm demand.
Many Italian and Spanish buyers are scaling back orders amid firmer prices, while significant volumes continue to be exported to the United States.
EVOO prices remain stable, holding in the €3.75–€4.00 per kilogram range, similar to last week.

Overall, the Mediterranean olive oil market is expected to remain firm but balanced.
