Dr. ElZubi to Al-Rai Newspaper: Decline in Olive Oil Production Due to Overlapping Climatic and Administrative Factors

ElZubi indicated that the decline in production is primarily attributed to the phenomenon of alternate bearing in olive trees, in addition to climate change effects that have influenced the distribution and volume of rainfall. Meanwhile, the governorates of Irbid and Ajloun maintained relatively better production levels due to supplementary irrigation and farmers’ expertise.
