ABOUT OLEAINDEX

The reference price for olive oil.

OleaIndex is an independent market-intelligence platform — a daily, transparent benchmark for olive oil prices by origin and by grade, with the global context that professionals need to trade with confidence. It reads like a financial index, because that is exactly what the sector has been missing.

WHY IT EXISTS

Olive oil is a multi-billion-euro traded commodity, yet it has never had a clear daily price reference the way grains, metals or energy do. Buyers and sellers negotiate against scattered, often outdated quotes — and Tunisia, which produces close to a fifth of the world's olive oil, has had no published price reference at all.

OleaIndex closes that gap. It reads like a financial index: a transparent daily benchmark by origin and grade across the Mediterranean, and — for the first time — a dedicated Tunisian price index by variety, Chemlali and Chetoui. One place to see where the market actually is, before you trade.

FOUNDER'S NOTE
“I built OleaIndex because I work in this sector and the reference price I needed didn't exist. That also means I have skin in the game — and you should know that.”

Our editorial independence is guaranteed by the methodology: prices are calculated algorithmically from public institutional sources and our direct field network, never influenced by any single operator's commercial position. We disclose our position so you can judge for yourself.

The best way to keep OleaIndex honest is to have the entire sector help build it. Contributors across the Mediterranean basin — millers, brokers, analysts, cooperatives — are named, credited, and welcomed.

A financial tool for an agricultural world — the lime of early-harvest oil keeps it human.

WHO RELIES ON IT

Exporters and producers pricing a shipment, importers and bottlers benchmarking a quote, brokers and mills tracking where origins diverge — anyone whose margin moves with the price of olive oil. Prices are compiled algorithmically and governed by a published methodology: stale sources lose weight automatically, and when a figure can't be verified the platform shows “Data Pending” rather than a number we can't stand behind.
