Abstract:

Andalusia is the origin of 69.54 % of the olive oil with Protected Designation of Origin (EVOO-DOP) obtained in Spain in 2021. The value per kilogram of this vegetable fat with differentiated quality presents, however, a high dispersion depending on the geographical location of the territory in which it is produced. Using the QCA methodology, this document analyzes how the age of the PDO, the orientation of its production towards international markets or the predominance of cooperative entities among the companies registered in it can condition the value at origin of the product.
