About the Product

Olive oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree. Depending on the extraction and refining method, there are three types:

  • virgin — obtained by physical means only, without chemical treatment;
  • refined — has undergone physical and chemical refining;
  • olive-pomace oil — extracted from the residue left after physical pressing, using organic solvents and heat.

International Olive Council Classification

Internationally, the olive sector is overseen by the International Olive Council (IOC). Its standards divide olive oil into Extra virgin olive oil, Virgin olive oil, Pure olive oil, Olive oil, Olive-pomace oil and Lampante oil. The grades differ in extraction method, degree of refining, composition, flavour and acidity.

The main olive oil producers are Spain, Italy and Greece.

Applications

Olive oil is a signature product of Mediterranean cuisine. Worldwide, it is used in cooking, cosmetics and soap-making.

World Olive Oil Market

According to the International Olive Council (IOC), provisional world olive oil production in the 2024/25 season was 3,572,000 tonnes, of which Spain accounted for 1,419,000 tonnes, keeping its place as the largest producer. Other leading countries include Türkiye, Tunisia, Greece and Italy; IOC member countries account for about 95% of world production. FUSHKOV GCG supplies wholesale olive oil from Spain, Italy, Tunisia, Greece and Portugal.

Storage and Transport

Olive oil is sensitive to light, heat and oxygen, so it is kept in closed containers in a cool, dark place. Bulk olive oil is shipped in dedicated food-grade containers; packaging is agreed to suit the buyer's requirements.

How a Deal Works

A physical commodity trade typically moves through a set of standard stages. The outline below reflects general industry practice; the actual terms are always set by the contract.

1
Enquiry
The buyer sends an enquiry for olive oil: required quality parameters, indicative volume, destination and preferred delivery basis.
2
Offer and specification
The trader prepares an offer and agrees the specification with the counterparty: quality parameters and the methods used to test them.
3
Contract
The contract fixes the price, the Incoterms delivery basis, the shipment schedule, inspection procedure and payment terms. International deals typically use GAFTA (grain and feed) or FOSFA (oils, fats and oilseeds) standard contract forms.
4
Loading and inspection
As a rule, an independent surveyor draws samples at loading and certifies the quality and weight of the cargo.
5
Documents and payment
The buyer receives the full set of shipping documents; payment is made as agreed in the contract.

Typical Document Set

In international agricultural trade, the document set usually includes a commercial invoice, a bill of lading or other transport document, and certificates of origin, quality and weight. Plant products normally require a phytosanitary certificate, and feed products a veterinary certificate. The exact list depends on the product, the destination country and the contract terms.

Incoterms 2020 at a Glance

  • FCA — the seller hands the goods over to the carrier nominated by the buyer at an agreed place; suitable for any mode of transport.
  • FOB — the goods are delivered once loaded on board the buyer's vessel at the port of shipment; from that point the buyer bears the risk.
  • CFR — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes to the buyer once the goods are on board at the port of shipment.
  • CIF — as CFR, but the seller also insures the cargo during the sea voyage.
  • DAP — the seller delivers the goods to the agreed destination, ready for unloading; suitable for any mode of transport.

FOB, CFR and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only. This summary is general: the delivery basis is chosen for each deal and fixed in the contract.
