Four intense days, 28 hours of learning, more than 30 people from 7 countries all pursuing the same goal. These are the impressive figures of the specialized training program which is part of the European project “ARTOLIO“, financed within the framework of the ENI CBC Med Program.

ARTOLIO got its start at the end of 2020 with the aim of promoting improvements in the quality of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) production, in addition to helping small producers enter the market (both locally and internationally).

During the second training programme, in addition to the project’s strategic team being present, different important figures from the world of research, agriculture and business also participated, as well as interdisciplinary experts.

Participants in the training programme were able to learn skills in communication, marketing, industry trends, agro tech and efficiency implementation techniques.

ARTOLIO  is funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC Med Programme. It aims at establishing, in each participating region, a Native Olive Regional Knowledge Center (NOReKC) which will provide up-to-date training on how an artisanal EVOO should be produced in order to remain competitive; and, at defining a networking management model for artisanal extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) through a Pan-Mediterranean Platform comprising all NOReKC, which will assist MSMEs across the Mediterranean region in marketing, sales, finance, policy and legislation, at national level and in entering new global markets.
