According to the MAPA definition, the olive oil market is a mainstay of the Spanish agricultural and food system.
And they are not insignificant words. Spain is a world leader in area, production and foreign trade due to its olive growing tradition and technologically advanced and professional industry capable of extracting high quality oils.
Olive oil represents the third most exported agri-food product in Spain, with more than 150 destination countries and a favorable trade balance that contributes to the positive balance of the entire agri-food sector.
Spanish olive oil production accounts for 70% of European Union production and 45% of world production, according to official figures.
In addition to having an undeniable economic importance, olive oil also has major social, environmental and territorial impacts. More than 350,000 farmers are dedicated to the cultivation of olive groves, providing approximately 15,000 additional jobs in the sector and generating more than 32 million in wages per campaign.
Likewise, the processes of transformation and distribution of their products, including their by-products, represent the main activity of numerous communities and an associated industry, which in many cases structures and unifies the rural environment in which it is located, supported by a strong grassroots cooperative movement.
According to official data, the olive grove covers 2.75 million hectares, of which 2.55 million belong to oil mill olive groves.
The cultivated plant is present in 15 of the 17 autonomous municipalities with a central-southern and eastern distribution on the peninsula. With 1.67 million hectares, Andalusia is the largest growing region and concentrates its characteristic “sea of olive trees” primarily in Jaén.
Olive cultivation has the largest integrated production area in Spain, with 477,606 hectares, representing 57% of the total national production of this species and 18% of the total area of olive groves in Spain. In addition, 217,864 hectares of olive oil mills produce organic farming.
At the regional level, olive oil production accounts for 80% of the total production in Andalusia, with Jaén being the main producing province with around 37% of the total production, followed by Castile-La Mancha with 8% and Extremadura with 4% of the country’s total production.

2025 was not the best year for olive oil producers; Climate change affected the market for this important product for the country.
The impact on olive oil has been so great that experts predict lower production for the rest of the 2025/2026 season, which could lead to price fluctuations, but everything depends on the weather conditions in the next two months.
“Experts and analysts from six of the world’s largest olive oil producing countries estimate that production in these countries could reach 2.65 million tons,” notes the trade magazine Olive Times.
Olive oil production is forecast to decline in the coming months in Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey compared to the 2.94 million tonnes produced in the 2024/25 season. However, there is hope that the five-year average of 2.41 million tonnes will be exceeded.
MAPA did not rule out a “big harvest in 2025/26” given the abundant rainfall and mild spring temperatures, which is why it submitted a draft oil marketing standard for public consultation in August to activate product withdrawal in the next campaign and avoid sales below cost.
The possible application of the oil market withdrawal mechanism for the next campaign awaits the publication of the final order, which, according to Agriculture, will only be carried out “if the estimates of high olive oil production and possible market imbalances are finally confirmed”.
