Export of olive and carob trees expanding
Luís Piedade said that the export of olive and carob trees (trees that are not protected, unlike the cork oak) was expanding and although people in Spain came to get the trees directly, the internet has been one of the other solutions that has been found to do business with Dubai, China and Australia.
While the European Union is giving Portugal funds to cut down hundred-year-old olive trees and replace them with olive groves for intensive cultivation which can produce olives more than once a year, thousands of olive trees, but also carob trees and strawberry trees, are saved before the work begins, to be sold later.
Luís Piedade told the Lusa agency that they had contacted the company building the Via do Infante motorway (Algarve) and the Alqueva dam (Alentejo) and they had kept the olive and carob trees alive by transplanting them, otherwise they would have been cut down during the building of these infrastructure projects.
