Global olive net surges,export wholesale prices contine to fluctuate.
With the rapid development of the global olive planting industry, the market demand for olive net, as a key tool for efficient harvesting, has increased significantly. Recently, affected by the cost of raw materials, logistics costs and international trade policies, the export wholesale price of olive net has shown a fluctuating trend, and suppliers and buyers are closely following market trends.
Market status and price trends
According to industry data, global olive production is expected to reach 32.6 million tons in 2025, an increase of 5% over last year, which has led to an increase in demand for olive net. Manufacturers in major exporting countries such as Spain, Italy, Turkey, Tunisia and China have reported that the rising prices of raw materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and nylon, coupled with increased energy costs, have led to an increase in production costs of about 10-15%. At present, the export wholesale price range of standard olive nets (size 4m×6m, mesh spacing 0.5-0.8cm) is **$1.50-$3.00/square meter**, depending on the material, specifications and purchase volume.
Significant regional differences
European suppliers: With a mature industrial chain, Spanish and Italian products are known for their high quality, but the price is relatively high ($2.50-$3.20/m2).
Asian suppliers: Chinese manufacturers offer more competitive prices ($1.40-$2.10/m2) through large-scale production, attracting buyers from the Middle East, North Africa and South America.
Purchasing suggestions
Industry insiders suggest that importers need to comprehensively evaluate the qualifications of suppliers, product durability and logistics efficiency, and long-term cooperation or bulk purchases can strive for a 5-10% price discount. In addition, paying attention to trade agreements such as RCEP and EU tariff policies is expected to reduce overall costs.
Future Outlook
With the promotion of sustainable agriculture, the research and development of olive net made of degradable materials has become a new direction, which may reshape the future price system. In the short term, the market supply is stable, but it is recommended that buyers place orders in advance to avoid additional costs caused by seasonal transportation peaks.
