• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video "Olivicultura cresce no Rio Grande do Sul" on Terra Sul, the olive farm owner, Oliveira, discusses his plans to expand his olive plantation to 500 hectares, currently growing 15 different cultivars. The olives yield more than just oil for consumption, offering various flavors. The farm has 70 hectares producing olives, while the rest are new and have yet to bear fruit due to the tree's three-year maturation period. The next harvest is expected to yield around 100 tonnes of olives, enough for approximately 15,000 liters of oil. All olive trees on the property should be in production, with the secret being to let nature take its course and wait for centuries. The farm also provides guidance to new producers and aims to maintain ancient olive trees, making it an investment worth the wait. The event is educational, with attendees sharing ideas and clarifying doubts. Oliveira emphasizes the importance of pureness and freshness in the oil offered to consumers, and the farm offers training on olive cultivation. The second year of the event, Oliveira's farm has provided support to new olive farmers, with countries having unique advantages, such as favorable weather conditions. Despite the challenges, the farm's location in Brazil offers six months of harvest and learning opportunities. The two-day intensive learning experience allows participants to appreciate the beautiful landscapes of nature. [Music plays]
