What happened

Why it matters
U.S. olive oil consumption has more than doubled since 2000, driving the shift toward oil olives. While California growers benefit from lower water use and reduced pest pressure, the U.S. still sources 95% to 98% of its olive oil from overseas, making imports the industry's largest competitive challenge.
