anyone trade this?shortage may lead to rationing

Olive oil is very specific to be honest, in the sense that this market doesn't work with other main (edible or not) vegoils. I mean it is much more specific than coconut oil and fish oil (I am being serious).Fungus attacks have been cited as a main factor behind lower productions this year in main European producing countries such as Italy, France and Spain (my understanding is that Italy has been hit the most). Olive oil prices have been through the roof lately eg 1 liter = EUR120* at some small-scale producers' in Southern France. * EUR still being worth something
