About Olives New Zealand
Welcome to the Olives New Zealand Website.
The New Zealand Olive Industry has reached a very interesting and exciting stage in its evolution. Although our oldest commercial plantings are only in their second decade the industry has already gained a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOO) with unique aromas and flavour.
Production volumes are now rapidly increasing and with Olives New Zealand emphasis on quality assurance, olive growers, processors and marketers are seeking to maintain that enviable reputation.
This website is the electronic face of Olives New Zealand and the NZ olive Industry. It is also the primary point of communication between the Industry and the olive world, the executive and the membership, and between branches and members of Olives New Zealand.
Enjoy the news, savour the information, and be well informed about the development of the industry.

Commodity Levy Proposal
Olives New Zealand is preparing a referendum to ascertain growers attitudes to the implementation of a commodity levy. Since the levy would apply to all olive growers producing olives or olive oil for sale, the Commodity Levies Act requires Olives New Zealand to attempt to provide information to all growers and to give them the opportunity to vote in the referendum. To assist in this endeavour a Powerpoint presentation, ballot paper and a copy of the voting paper are available here by clicking on the following links : Powerpoint presentation, Ballot paper, Voting paper.
The Executive decided at its meeting on 7 May 2009 to postpone the referendum on the levy to allow further consultation to take place.
