Major organic oil producer Kailis collapses

Dear all,
we report here the collapse of one of the largest organic olive oil producers in the World, Kailis olive oil, a company with a 2,000 hectares olive orchard in Australia. You can read it on ABC rural (November the 30th 2011):

Kailis used to produce a real good quality organic olive oil as, if you do not trust our tasting abilities, you can judge by the prizes he won. The former article indicates in the European (namely Spanish and Italian) cheap olive oil Aussie imports the reason for Kailis to drop out.
May be. May be, it could be interesting to look at the cost structure of such a large orchard, for us to learn more about farm management (there's plenty of debate about efficiency). Or, may be, it could be interesting to understand how European competitors can bring cheap olive oil in Australia. In the mean while, the Italian Monini - Carapelli and other Italian brands are no longer Italian owned, as you certainly know- came out recently with its first Australian olive oil bottle, produced from some hundreds of hectares of olive trees in the "Down-under".

Interesting, isn't it?

Bests.
