Now give us olive oil production per capita map. Probably looks the same

Almost. I doubt there is any (European) olive oil production outside the Mediterranean.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There is some! Argentina, Chile, and Australia grow a fair bit. Nowhere near as much as the major Mediterranean producers, certainly, but not nothing

I suppose they've got the climate for it. Same reason those three are some of the biggest wine producers outside of Europe

Sure. Yet, I was referring to Europe, as this is a map of Europe and neighbouring regions.

I think I heard Spain is the largest producer?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, by far. They account for 40+% of the entire world's production, so they're making so much more than anyone else that it's basically a guarantee they're the top per capita too

Yeah for example most olives in America come from Spain even though we also make our own olives.

Make a consumption/production map
