In Akhisar district, olive culture dates back to many years; however,
olives for consumption have been produced in small workshops for long
years. It is observed that the workshops located in this region are
converted into bigger and more modern constructions inclined towards
industrialization approximately for the last 10 years. In this frame, a
questionnaire study has been performed using the face-to-face interview
method as addressed to establishments in order to determine the current
status of olive facilities in the district of Akhisar and selected
villages thereof. Questionnaire results have been evaluated with the
help of the SPSS program. As a result of evaluation it is observed that
there have been an increase in the number of establishments founded,
especially in 1998; the establishments were small size, family owned
establishments; the administrators and employees needed training
especially on technical and marketing issues; the establishments
predominantly produced periodically; their rates of capacity use
increased; the causes for their inability to operate in full capacity
included firstly the problems with regards to raw materials. It is also
determined that the problems they encountered included chiefly the
insufficiency of equity capital; their technology were up-to-date and
presented advantage for competition but such technology should be
renewed in parallel to the developments in the world.
