Olive Plantation in Pakistan

If you go to greece, you will see that italians are buying oil from there, albania and bulgaria; then they repackage it and mix it up.
Stay away from italian oil. Personally, i get local or if i get portugese 50kg barrel. you cannot store for long as here it tends to go rancide.
I avoid Italian and Greece olive oil, but like taste of Portuguese . Packed olive oil has average 1 year of shelf life if it's open then max 2 months in dark area. It is recommended not keep in warm/hot or avoid exposing to light ... which i don't understand.

Correct - however, the exported greek oil tends to get filtered because 'EU' wants the taste of bitterness gone.

When I visted greece, i went to friend's orchard - it was really good vs the store

A store owner from Palestine told me, what you buy is not the best quality, fresh olive oil from first cold press is totally different compared to shelf ones, he claim majority of suppliers do adulteration and customers are not aware at all.

totally different. it is liquid gold.

the residue - you can get via solvents but then push it into soaps etc.

I have several dozen wild olives - it is local and found across the entire region. I tried to plant a few regular olive trees but did not have luck. Figs are abundunt here and as this region experienced a lot of drought, i have been adding lot of drought resistant trees - figs, acacia (naturally occuring), citrus tends to do really well here plus a local variety of apricots.
 
Pakistan will plant 50 Million Olive Trees under the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami.

4 Million Wild olive trees would be grafted to make them Fruiting trees.

Tunisia offers expertise to boost olive plantation



ISLAMABAD: Tunisia has offered Pakistan its expertise and help in developing olive plantation in its different regions and extraction of olive oil. Tunisian ambassador Borhene El Kamel maintained Friday that his country is ready to collaborate with Pakistan for the large-scale cultivation of olive.

At a reception in honour of Abdellatif Ghedira, executive director, International Olive Council (IOC), Borhene recalled that some regions in Pakistan particularly Baluchistan have Tunisia like climate environment, and it is ready to share its technical expertise and know-how in the field of oil cultivation.

Ambassador Borhene reminded that olive oil is considered the healthiest cooking oil in the world being cholesterol-free and having a lot of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It prevents heart diseases.

He revealed that it is beneficial for fighting obesity, diabetes, haypertension, Alzheimer and much more. “Olive oil has also amazing benefits for skin, hair and nails. Pakistanis who suffer from insomnia, use olive oil for deep sleep,” he said.

A prominent former Tunisian diplomat Mounir Fourati, director-general Pakistan Foreign Office Murad Wazir Khan, parliamentary secretary Foreign Affairs Andleeb Abbas were also among the guests. Olive cultivation in Tunisia has carried out dates back to the 8th century BC, even before the founding of Carthage and now Tunisia is one of the leading world olive oil producers and exporters.
 
Fakhar Imam said that by becoming a member of OIC, Pakistan can achieve its full potential with respect to olive production. He said that 36,000 acres of land is currently under olive production in Balochistan, KPK and Punjab. The Minister hoped that by increasing the production of olive with the help of OIC, the value-added industry of olive can thrive in Pakistan.

Fakhar Imam said that we need to learn from the examples of countries like the Netherlands that export $24 billion of flowers and is the biggest player in the flower industry worldwide. He said that Pakistan has immense potential to become one of the biggest players in mangoes yet our production of mangoes is 1.7 million tonnes of which only 7-8% is exported. He said that through cooperation with OIC, Pakistan can also become one of the major growers of olive in the world.

It will be very hard to find in Pakistan.even in US , but here few test people run, for example leaving in fridge over night, pure olive oil turn solid freeze. But some producer decline this test and again its region issue. Majority cases we see 2nd and 3rd press mixed with some oil, for example, Italian mix sunflower oil in second and third press, but US law is strict they have to mention the delusion. In Pakistan, doubt will be easy to find out.
