The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, has defended this Thursday the strategic importance of the European Union (EU)-Mercosur agreement, assuring that it will benefit sectors such as olive oil and wine, which are so important for Spain and Italy. Planas met in Rome with his Italian counterpart, Francesco Lollobrigida, before another meeting with the Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Qu Dongyu, on the eve of the UN organization's Conference of Agriculture Ministers. Amid the trade war unleashed by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, by threatening to impose strong tariffs on his trading partners, the agreement between the EU and Mercosur has been one of the central topics of the meeting between the Spanish and Italian ministers, according to a statement from the Ministry. Planas highlighted to Lollobrigida that this is a good agreement that, among other sectors, will benefit the olive oil and ...

The threat from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, that Spain will pay for the trade channel what it is not willing to assume within the framework of NATO once again leaves Spanish olive oil exposed to potential tariffs that the leader might impose. Olive oil is the most exported product to the US, with 113,416 tons sold in 2024 for an amount of 1,013 million euros, representing a 58% increase from the 640 million in 2023.

In total, Spain exported 18,179.1 million euros to the US in 2024, 3.8% less than the ...

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing, and Food (MAPA) has initiated procedures to activate, for the first time, a mandatory olive oil withdrawal mechanism to balance the market if the next campaign—as it seems to be pointing—is significantly more abundant than the current one. Agriculture, after several meetings with the sector, has opened the prior public consultation of the text for the future order that will establish the "olive oil marketing standard for the 2025/26 campaign" and that will make it possible to "improve and stabilize its market functioning," as MAPA announced a few days ago. The agricultural organizations Asaja, COAG, UPA, and UDU, as well as Agro-alimentarias Cooperatives, applaud this initiative, which is possible thanks to the inclusion of article 167 bis in community regulation 1308/2013 of the common market organization (OCM) for agricultural products. This article grants member states the possibility of establishing marketing standards to regulate olive ...
