The purpose of this study is the comparative analysis of two significant olive production methods, the traditional irrigated method and the super-intensive method through the prism of applying to them techniques of Precision Agriculture.
In the first chapter, the regional and historical significance that olive production has is being imprinted, in the form of a historical recursion, as well as the prime effects that olive and olive oil have had in the culture and the religious beliefs of different regions, during notable eras, are being described. Moreover, the significance that both of these products have had from the past
times until today’s societies, is being depicted with the use of evidence and reports.
In the second chapter, major and up-to-date statistical data, focused around the primary production of the olive fruit in an International, European and National level are being displayed, while mentioning the unique characteristics and the essential differences between the farm lands. Furthermore, important data focused around the olive fruit and olive oil commerce and consumption in an International, European and National scale are being shown.
With the third chapter, a comparison between the Traditional irrigated production method and the Super-intensive production method is being attempted, focusing on the operation principles and specific features that each of these methods has. In addition, the qualitative and quantitative outcomes of each method are being presented, while displaying the costs of installation and operation per acre.
Finally, in the fourth chapter, the method of Precision Agriculture is being analyzed, by citing internationally applied practices that led to successful results, which consequently offered a valuable reduction in operational costs. Both of these methods are being evaluated based on the qualitative and quantitative results that derive from applying to them Precision Agricultural techniques.
Through an economic analysis and evaluation of specific cases, the size of the land field that each of these production methods requires in order to develop business plans with a notable rate of return is being defined.
