Abstract

Kilis province has a rich olive biodiversity in the
region of Mesopotamia where the olive's motherland is located. Kilis Yağlık
olive, which is predominantly higher than the other olive varieties in the
region, is heavily cultivated. Due to the well-adaptation to the region and
high yielding oil properties, the olive orchards in the region are
characterized byKilisYağlik even though
the regions have almost no irrigation facilities in the cultivated areas. The
Gemlik olive variety changed olive population pattern in the region due to its
easy reproduction, shorter juvenility
than Kilis Yağlik and unconscious agricultural policies. Olive is usually grown for oil purposes. The olive production area is 280.432 decares, which is grown as 266.092 decares for oil and 14.340 decares as a table
olive. The share of olives in the vegetative production of Kilis province is
approximately 25%. There are 36 olive oil factories. A total of 340 farmers
also are doing organic farming 22.795 decares
in the region. In this study, the situation and potential of the olive
production in Kilis province are discussed.
