Olive oil, a non-drying oil ranging from light yellow to green or yellowish in color, is extracted from olives. It boasts higher monounsaturated fat content and finds common use in salad dressings and cooking.
The primary types of olive oil include virgin olive oil, refined olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, and olive pomace oil. Virgin olive oil is derived from olives via cold pressing without undergoing processing. It is available in both conventional and organic variants, distributed through various channels such as business-to-business suppliers, supermarkets, hypermarkets, grocery stores, online retail platforms, and other avenues serving industries such as food processing, food service, cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and similar end users.

Tariffs are impacting the olive oil market by increasing costs of imported raw olives, bulk olive oil shipments, packaging materials, and cross-border distribution.
