Spanish Olive Oil Market Situation (April 2025)

For another consecutive month, the olive oil industry has shown a positive trend in monthly distribution volumes. According to data gathered by the Ministry of Agriculture along with the Food Information and Control Agency (AICA), April ended with favorable figures in terms of distribution and production.

• Shipments: 117,071 Tm
• April Production: 3,506 Tm
• Cumulative Production: 1,410,494 Tm
• Producers' Inventory: 666,458 Tm
• Packers' Inventory: 205,645 Tm
• Equity: 9,835 Tm
• Total Stocks: 881,938 Tm

By the end of April, 117,071 Tm were distributed, not including imports, which were about 15,000 Tm more. These figures continue to be encouraging, particularly due to the situation with prices, which have shown a slight decrease at the source this April. Regarding cumulative production, the data at the end of April suggest that the production cycle has concluded, reaching a total of 1,410,494 Tm.

To date, the sector has reserves of 881,758 Tm (666,458 Tm in the hands of oil mills, 205,465 Tm with packers, and 9,835 Tm in equity).

If the pace of shipments continues in the same manner for the remaining months of the campaign, the availability of olive oil by the end of September could be quite limited, potentially leading to increased tension among stakeholders in the olive oil industry.
