IOC Executive Director Jean-Louis Barjol is to give a talk on the world olive oil market at the seminar to be hosted by theOlive Oil Times ahead of the New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC) to be held from 8 to 10 April 2014.
The IOC’s chief aim on taking up the invitation to participate in this seminar is to report the latest information available to it from its position as the world benchmark organisation in the olive oil sector. As always when it attends an event on the sidelines of a competition, its presence does not in any way mean that it sponsors the contest. Readers might be interested to know that the IOC intends to set up regional editions of its Mario Solinas Quality Award competition in partnership with potentially interested organisers.
