These Italian machines can press 40 tons a day, but despite their size they are worthless without the farmer and the landowners. Therefore we decided, despite all the rising costs, to keep the price at $16 per tin of oil pressed, at a rate of one dollar per kilo. We also sell a tin of oil to whoever wants at $150, and 100 kilos of olives for $100 for whoever wants to watch the pressing before him.

For me the season has not begun. The olives are unripe and their yield ratio is bad, even though the crop season is good, but people rushed, so I decided to respond to them early.
الياس عساف دوينصاحب معصرة حجرية في بلدة جبلا3 days ago · annahar.com
We love olives and hate them. In its season it deprives us of many things and it is no longer profitable as it used to be with the high costs of caring for it, from pruning to plowing to picking, but emotionally the attachment to it is great. I do not remember in which year the first season was when my father took me with him to the harvest, but that happened in my childhood.
