Italy's Olive Oil Production Hits 25-Year Low

VATICAN CITY- APRIL 14: A Faithful holds olive twigs during the Palm Sunday celebrations in St. Peter's Square on April 14, 2019 in Vatican City. Climate change, extreme weather and Xylella fastidiosa, a bacteria transmitted by insects, are causing a severe decline in Italian olive oil production, with some experts predicting the country may ultimately need to import oil from other countries. Olive oil is a backbone of the Italian economy, cuisine, and culture, with some olive groves supporting trees which are thousands of years old, and the industry responsible for thousands of jobs.
