Proprietary Oliv.iQ® Integrated Olive Production System

Oliv.iQ® Proprietary System

• Oliv.iQ® enables CBO to grow more olives per hectare, accumulate higher olive oil content, and extract greater volumes of high‑quality EVOO at lower production costs than global peers – as validated by a 2019 independent report prepared by the University of California, Davis.
• The system also delivers superior sustainability outcomes, using less water and fertiliser per litre of olive oil produced, compared to global industry averages.
