Resumen
[ES] El mercado oleícola español es un importante motor económico para el país. Se trata de un sector en el cual España es líder mundial tanto en producción como en comercialización. La producción española representa más del 50% de la producción mundial. Andalucía es el principal centro de producción y más concretamente Jaén, con su título de “Capital mundial del aceite de oliva”. En cuanto a comercialización, España es el mayor exportador de aceite de oliva en el mundo y su consumo interior per cápita es de 9.6 l/año. El mercado se caracteriza por tener una oferta muy dispersa y una demanda muy concentrada. El país cuenta con 818 almazaras (productores) mientras que la comercialización recae mayoritariamente en unas pocas empresas. En este sector el precio depende de la oferta y la demanda, y generalmente sufre importantes oscilaciones de un año a otro debido a que el olivo es un árbol vecero.
