Crops

A domain connecting crops, rainfall, water, livestock, and food security in one updateable picture.

Olive cultivation expanded over six decades

Olive harvested area rose from 80,000 hectares in 1961 to 681,220 hectares in 2024 — more than eightfold. Wheat area, by contrast, stayed near its starting level: 1.315 million hectares versus 1.276 million.

This is a long-run land-use shift, not a production comparison: the crops have different yields and economics.
