Olive Cultivation
The olive oil sector in Malta has old origins and albeit being small, local farmers produce distinct olive oil, which is appreciated in the local market and by foreigners alike. In this regard, several olive mills were approved, for the production of Olive Oil, whereby such registration is necessary for the required monitoring and controls of this product. The aim of the Agriculture Directorate is to ensure quality and traceability of olive oil products on the local market and strengthen the consumers' confidence in Maltese Olive products.
