China's olive oil industry is young but growing. While domestic production remains low (less than 1% of global output), it has increased significantly in recent years. Regions like Gansu and Longnan are leading the charge, with Gansu producing around 5,700 tons of extra virgin olive oil annually. Experts predict China could reach 10,000 tons as ideal growing conditions and rising demand for olive oil fuel new ventures. China still relies heavily on imports from established producers like Spain and Italy. Still, domestic production is on the rise and has the potential to become a much bigger player in the global market.
