Harvest outlook
Register of small-batch processors – are you listed? Thanks to all the small-batch processors who have sent us their details: they’re now on our register, which we reference to connect processors with people wanting to utilise their services. The Olivegrower and AOA teams regularly receive enquiries from people looking for small-batch processors – both ‘home’ olive growers with a good crop wanting to produce their own oil, and growers with smaller-than-expected grove crops. With that in mind, we’ve put a register together which enables us to connect producers with small crops and processors who can process for them, to the mutual benefit of both. We’d like to include all processors across Australia and New Zealand willing and able to process small batches of olives, preferably individually but also those offering group crushings.
If this is you, please send your details to Olivegrower editor Gerri Nelligan, including contact and pricing details, minimum quantities required, and whether you will crush individually or on a “mix and percentage” basis. We’ve got a good list already, and it’s worked well in recent years, so we’re keen to make the register as complete as possible. If you’re not on it already, please send us
your details so we can add you to the list – it could mean valuable additional work for your business. In particular, we’re keen to hear from small batch processors in South Australia and Queensland. To be included on the register, please email your details to Olivegrower editor Gerri Nelligan at editor@olivegrower.com.au.
