The International Olive Council is the only international intergovernmental organization in the olive oil and table olives sector. It was established in Madrid, Spain, in 1959, under the auspices of the United Nations. The Council is a decisive actor in contributing to the sustainable and responsible development of olive growing, and serves as a world forum to discuss policy issues and to address present and future challenges.
