You are an information bank Dr. Sunil Chopra.Well presented,precise and informative. Look forward more such article with The Global Talk.
Most valuable knowledge, Actually most of the world knows about the olive and people using it on their food. In India as a poor country one can’t afford it.and they had their own oils every part of India in south they have coconut in west and middle they have ground nut in north they have mustard which are much cheaper and healthy too. The nutrient value may not be same. Now come to today topic olive it’s amazing no doubt
Indian Govt should encourage the farmer to grow it in India but if it is not possible to give subsidy on its import so Indian can also use this god gift on affordable rate
Thanks.
