Spain, the world's largest olive oil producer, will withhold 12% of its production starting November to stabilize prices for farmers. This unprecedented measure aims to keep around 188,000 tons off the market until September 2027. The decision follows expectations of a bountiful harvest and high existing stocks, with initial stocks at 357,040 tons and projected production at 1,602,596 tons. The government can withdraw oil from the market when stocks exceed 20% of the average from the last six seasons. Olive oil prices have fluctuated due to recent droughts and heat waves, impacting farmers' earnings.
