India is thrown in the production of olive oil. Spain and Israel in the first row.
I find more than two years away from when it happened that the olive groves have arrived in India.
An agreement between Israel and Rajasthan for an experimental plot of 250 hectares has already stato siglato. Contemporaneamente un’azienda indiana e una spagnola hanno firmato per una joint venture strategica
Israele e India per un nuovo modello di olivicoltura
La regione indiana di Rajasthan e alcune società israeliane, leader nello sviluppo di tecniche e tecnologie irrigue, hanno siglato un accordo per lo sviluppo di un nuovo modello di olivicoltura in quella regione che, per condizioni climatiche, assomiglia allo Stato di Israele.
In considerazione delle considerevoli differenze podologiche tra le due regioni geografiche la partnership inizierà con un poderoso progetto di ricerca che, arrivando alla piantumazione di 120.000 piante di diverse varietà, poterà utili indicazioni agronomiche sull’adattabilità della coltura olivo in India.
Un programma di studio che avrà a disposizione ben 250 ettari di campi sperimentali.
Dopo la fase di ricerca iniziale, che individuerà i genotipi più adatti all’area, le società israeliane introdurranno tali cultivar in India, fornendo anche il know how ai nuovi olivicoltori locali.
Le piante saranno irrigate con le tecniche di irrigazione a goccia più innovative, compreso il metodo dell’iniezione diretta, where the roots are reached directly by water and nutrients.
This saves 40% of water normally used with traditional irrigation systems, resulting in excellent yield response. In recent tests, in Israel, thanks to this technique is able to obtain up to 2.8 tonnes of olive oil per hectare, a finding they hope to achieve in Rajasthan.
olive oil? A good business
Why India is thrown on the production olive oil? Simple, because it pays off.
Beware of good nutrition and healthy, although the vast majority of the billion Indians can not afford even that product, economic development suggests that consumption of olive oil are set to grow rapidly and, given the current prices, the olive cultivation could be highly profitable.
In India the average price of olive oil is about Rs 800, Rs 53-55 against the most common peanut oil.
This listing may be destined to fall, but remained at attractive levels, if the Indian Olive Oil Association was unable to convince the government to lower duties on this product (currently 45%), aligning them with those of neighboring countries such as China or Korea (8-10%).
Spain also puts one foot in the Indian market
The Sojivit, a English company that since 1995, produces and sells natural foods, provides an investment two million euro for the planting of olive trees, which are under organic cultivation in northern India, thinking about starting to market its production from 2012. The President of the Sojivit says that its not too risky a bet, noting that trees already planted the British when India was a British colony.
Meanwhile it has signed an agreement with an Indian company to create a joint venture that will import and marketing of oil English.
will be two new brands in the Indian market: Olivia (extra virgin olive oil) and Olicook (oil for frying).
