Raising local production to global standards
In an era of overproduction, quality, uniqueness, rarity, brand image, and market positioning have become essential for survival and growth.Like it or not, we are in global competition with regions such as Tuscany and Andalusia.These services are designed to help local products meet this challenge and reach customers more effectively.
Olive Harvesting
Fast, skilled harvest teams deployed on your schedule
The quality of olive oil is decided in the first 24 hours after picking. Fruit that sits too long on the tree or on the ground begins to oxidize, driving up acidity and destroying polyphenols — the compounds that make good olive oil worth paying for.
Our harvest teams are trained to work quickly and cleanly: hand-picking and mechanical raking only, no beating, with fruit sorted on-site and transported to the mill the same day.
What's included:
– Harvest timing assessment (optimal
phenolic index)
– Crew deployment with tools and
transport
– On-site fruit sorting and
rejection of damaged olives
– Mill coordination and same-day
pressing where available
Grove Maintenance
Year-round care for productive, long-lived olive trees
An olive tree that is well-maintained produces more fruit,
better fruit, and lives longer. Most small growers in the Oriental Region
manage their g aroves without access to agronomic advice. We offer practical
grove maintenance services based on what the trees actually need.
Services include:
– Pruning (formative, maintenance,
and rejuvenation for neglected trees)
– Soil management and organic
amendment
– Water management and irrigation
assessment
– Pest and disease monitoring (olive
fly, peacock eye, verticillium)
– Renovation of abandoned or
low-yield groves
Best suited for: Family growers, absentee landowners, and smallholders who want to improve yield and quality without committing to full-time management.
Agricultural Service
Support beyond olives — for the full farm
The Oriental Region produces more than olive oil. Almonds,
figs, pomegranates, wheat, and a range of aromatic plants grow across the
province's diverse terrain. We extend our field services to cover the full
scope of what growers manage.
Available for:
– Almond and fig harvesting
– Grain and legume crop support
– Aromatic plant cultivation (thyme,
rosemary, lavender, saffron)
– Tools rental and leasing
(tractors, harvesters, irrigation equipment)
– Crop logistics and transport to
local markets or cooperatives
Seasonal Products
What Guercif produces, when it's at its best
The Oriental Region's products are tied to the calendar. Early harvest olive oil comes only in November. Saffron is picked in a three-week window in autumn. Wild thyme honey follows the hillside bloom in spring. Miss the season and you wait a year.
This section reflects what's available now — direct from growers and cooperatives as each harvest comes in. No off-season sourcing, no substitutions.
In season through the year:
– Early harvest olive oil (November)
– Saffron (October–November)

– Seasonal honey — euphorbia, wildflower (spring/summer)
