A VERY POOR HARVEST

I just heard on the Spanish news that the olive harvest this year is also very small as there has been a consistent drought. The quality is also very poor. This coincides with some of the information given by members regarding the Italian situation. The reporters were stating that the 2008 harvest was an excellent one and this caused a drop in olive oil prices; however, if it does not rain during the winter the 2010 harvest will be in jeopardy and olive oil prices will escalate worldwide.
