Ancient olive trees

 

The project “Enhancing the competitiveness of local SMEs in Montenegro through cluster development” funded by the EU, co-funded and implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in cooperation with UNDP was carried out for the Ministry of Economy of Montenegro with the objective of strengthening the competitiveness and market access of four selected clusters. Within this project in 2015 were obtained the official results of the age of the olive trees. Determination of olive was been done in cooperation with University of Istanbul (Faculty of Forestry), and in the project has also been involved the Faculty of food technology, food safety and ecology at the University of Donja Gorica in Podgorica.

During this project samples have been taken and has been determined the age of 25 olive trees in the municipality of Ulcinj (and 25 olive trees in the municipality of Bar). From these olives can be produced exclusive oil intended for specific markets.
