IOC given olive oil culture award

Madrid / 09.02.2021

The International Olive Council has been awarded the “Premi Cultura de l’Oli 2021“. The award was given by “Patronato Fira de l’Oli i les Garrigues, y el alcalde de les Borges Blanques” for the commitment of the IOC to the cultural promotion of olive oil consumption and the dissemination of information on market regulations in the olive sector.

The award ceremony, which was held online, was attended by the IOC’s Deputy Executive Director Jaime Lillo (pictured), who spoke about the nutritional properties of olive oil and the global olive oil market.

The municipality of Les Borges and the region of Les Garrigues have a strong link with olive production. Olives are one of the most important sectors of the local economy, making olive oil a tool for promotion and territorial marketing. In the last edition before the pandemic, the Fira de l’Oli i les Garrigues recorded some 70 000 visitors. The organisers’ commitment to drawing attention to this event is commendable, ensuring the event could go ahead despite the pandemic to share news of great scientific, economic and health importance.

 

Le COI reçoit le prix de la culture de l’huile d’olive

Madrid – Le Conseil oléicole international a reçu le “Premi Cultura de l’Oli 2021“. Le prix a été décerné par la Fira de l’Oli i les Garrigues et le maire de Les Borges Blanques pour le travail du COI de promotion culturelle de la consommation d’huile d’olive et de diffusion d’informations sur la réglementation du secteur oléicole.

Le Directeur exécutif adjoint du COI, Jaime Lillo (en photo), a participé à la cérémonie de remise des prix qui s’est déroulée en ligne. À cette occasion, il a souligné les propriétés nutritionnelles de l’huile d’olive et donné des informations sur le marché mondial de l’huile d’olive.

La municipalité de Les Borges et la région de Les Garrigues entretiennent un lien étroit avec la production oléicole. Les olives sont l’un des secteurs les plus importants de l’économie locale, ce qui fait de l’huile d’olive un outil de promotion et de marketing territorial. Lors de la dernière édition, avant la pandémie, la Fira de l’Oli i les Garrigues avait reçu quelque 70 000 visiteurs. L’engagement des organisateurs à attirer l’attention sur cet événement a permis que l’événement puisse de nouveau avoir lieu cette année, malgré la pandémie.
