Conclusion
Olive Oil Production by Country

Content: 80% of Italy’s olive oil production is concentrated in the Southern region in areas such as Puglia, Sicily, Basilicata, Sardinia, and Calabria. The temperatures in these areas are warm making them suited for the cultivation of olive oil. Italy uses olive oil domestically and even exports some to international markets such as the US, Brazil, China, Austria, and Canada. 3. Greece - 344,615
In 2013, Greece contributed to 11% of the world’s olive oil production. As per the data collected by FAOSTAT, Greece produced an average of 344,615 tons of olive oil from 1993-2014 making it the third largest olive oil producer. In Greece, approximately 60% of the total cultivated land is used to grow olives. The Peloponnese region in Greece produces the country’s highest percentage of olive while Crete and Aegean come second followed by the Ionian Islands. There are over 2,800 olive oil mills in the country that extracts its olive oil from native olives. About half of the amount of olive oil produced in Greece is exported while the remaining amount is used locally, mostly for cooking.
