The production of green table olives is on the increase. This year the Soller Sant Bartomeu Cooperative has broken records and doubled the 2015 production. In total, 43 tons of green olive have been gathered, 23 more than last year, by producers able to sell them as DO (designation of origin). The president of the DO Oliva de Mallorca, Miquel Gual, says that the price has been kept at the same level as last year, which was already high, and that this has helped bring in more people to pick the olives. Some of the olives picked last year, Gual also notes, were not of sufficient quality to carry the DO mark.
