Can Olive Oil Benefits Spike In Georgia?

By Rob Sutter


It's apparent that across all fifty states, almost all of them can be paired off with a certain food. One of the biggest ones, in my eyes, has to be Idaho and its connection to the potato. What about looking more south in Florida and its prevalence of oranges more than any other product? Georgia seems to follow a similar pattern well but for how much longer? The reason that I say this is because of how olive oil benefits may just be taking the top spot before long.

For those who are dismissive of the idea and think that this is just a passing occurrence, it seems like it stands a great chance of occurring. An article on 41NBC talked about how Bob Krueger, a farmer in Hawkinsville, decided to plant trees in the area. More specifically, these are trees in order to reap olive oil benefits. This is the kind of story that can bring forth the attention of companies like Bellucci Premium but this is one that may be time sensitive compared to others.

Just like with any example of vegetation, though, the growth of these trees will take some time. The article stated that these trees were planted back in June of 2012, meaning that there will have to be two more years of growth, at least, before usable fruit sprouts. To say the least, this will take some work but various elements make the task a bit less daunting. One of said elements is weather, since the right type will change how growth comes about with these plants.

As far as places to effectively grow crops are concerned, southern areas of the United States seem to be the most ideal. They are the ones with which typically possess hot and dry climates, which are suitable for olive trees. How else do you think Florida earned its reputation as the greatest source of orange growth in the country? Hawkinsville fits this particular bill quite nicely, as I am sure you could very well imagine, which means that olive growth can come about rather easily.

Georgia - a state known primarily for being one related to peaches - may just be the one where olive oil benefits are even more common. Olives seem to possess a greater level of demand than anything else these days, which goes without saying. More and more trees are to be planted in due time, which I am very excited about. While the oil brought in from various countries is great, it's nice to know that production of said oil could be seen in the United States.
