• The study was presented by the International Olives
Council (IOC) to the Common Fund for Commodities
(CFC) for funding and was drawn up at the IOC
Executive Secretariat in cooperation with the
Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible (IAS-CSIC),
Spain, and the Instituto per i Sistemi Agricoli e
Forestali del Mediterraneo (CNR-ISAFoM), Italy. CFC
is an intergovernmental financial institution
established within the framework of the United
Nations, headquartered in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands.

Distribution of cultivated varieties on agro-
climatic conditions
Study general objectives
• To enhance crop yields of smallholder olive
farmers in two Mediterranean countries -
Morocco and Syria through the
optimization of water management
practices applied to olive cultivation
• Improved and more stable olive yields are
going to lead to improved earnings and
livelihoods for the targeted smallholder
farmers
Specific objectives
• To increase yield of olive groves in the
target areas by using advanced strategies
• To minimize yearly fluctuations in yield,
and securing more stable farm income
• To increase water productivity of irrigated
olive
Outputs
Output1
Demonstration of
the potential of
advanced irrigation
for increasing olive
yield above current
levels in rainfed olive
groves and in
conventionally
irrigated groves.
Output2
Demonstration of
the potential of
regulated deficit
irrigation (RDI) for
increasing
production under
irrigation with a
limited water
supply
Output3
Demonstration of
a) the advantages
of irrigation on the
quality of olive
fruits;
b) the lack of
detrimental effects
on the quality of
olive oil
Output4
Dissemination &
training based on the
new information on
olive irrigation
management
obtained in the
regions where pilot
plots are established
