Worldwide, traditional olive cultivation methods have been creating serious economic problems for growers. The high cost associated with hand-harvesting old-world styled orchards has challenged olive growers seeking profitability. Thus, the development of a super-high density planting system where over-the-row mechanical grape harvesters can effectively harvest olives with minimal labor. Over the past ten years, this new super-high density system for planting olive trees for the production of olive oil has become very popular in Spain, Italy, France and now California.
