If the Olive Trees knew the hands that planted them, Their Oil would become Tears.
Olives are traditionally grown in the mediterranean area. So it is no surprise that all top producing countries are on all sides of the Mediterranean sea.
The top producer of olives by far is Spain ( 6,559,884 tons) followed by Greece (2,343,383 tons), Italy (2,092,175 tons), Turkey (1,730,000 tons) and Morocco (1,416,107 tons). Syria, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Portugal complete the top 10.
Spain is also the top producer of olive oil, usually responsible for 40-50% of the total global production.
