Eight Olive Oil Factories in Dalmatia Stop Working Due to Record Olive Product

Eight olive oil factories in Dalmatia are quitting work this year due to olives yielding record levels of produce and depleting storage space for the komina that emerged during processing. Komina refers to the residual waste from olive oil production.

The olive producers and oil mills community said the problem has been pushing businesses in Dalmatia for years, and they have also warned last year. Speaking at a press conference in Solin, Ivica Ljubenko said that the relevant institutions had been contacted, but that the solution process was progressing slowly. Ljubenko said similar problems would grow in the coming seasons as olive trees planted over the last 20 years lie in the yield.
