Olives Wholesale Price

The olives wholesale price can fluctuate based on several factors. Understanding these factors can help you make informed purchasing decisions and get the best value for your money:

Olive Quality: The quality of olives is graded. Higher-grade olives, carefully selected for size, texture, and flavor, typically command a higher price. Premium olives often undergo rigorous quality control processes, ensuring uniformity and superior taste.

Olive Variety: There are numerous olive varieties. Different olive types, such as Kalamata, Halkidiki, or Nocellara, have varying price points due to factors like rarity, demand, and cultivation methods. Some varieties are more labour-intensive to grow and harvest, influencing their cost.

Processing Method: How olives are prepared greatly affects cost. Whether the olives are plain, marinated, or stuffed will influence the price. Marinated and stuffed olives involve additional ingredients (herbs, spices, garlic, cheese, peppers) and labour, increasing their overall cost.

Order Volume: The principle of economies of scale is very important. Larger bulk olives orders generally result in a lower price per unit due to economies of scale. Suppliers are often willing to offer discounts for substantial quantities.

Shipping Costs: Transport costs must be considered. The distance and method of transportation can impact the final cost. Factors like fuel prices and delivery logistics play a role. At Medfood, we bring our range of olives from across the Mediterranean. We have olive farms and partners from across the region. Ensuring we get the pick of the best and the best price. 

Packaging: Options vary widely. The type of packaging (buckets, pouches, tins, or deli pots) can also affect the price. Some packaging materials are more expensive than others, and specialised packaging for preservation may add to the cost.

The weather: We have seen first hand that the weather can have an enormous impact on the production and quality of olives. Over the past few years, very hot and dry summers have had the effect of reducing the olive harvest. Added to this were the devastating fires across Greece and Spain that burnt down many farms and old trees. We have worked with our partners to ensure we always have a supply of olives for our customers, but this has not always been eary.
