Why Olive Growers and Distributors Buy From the Factory
Olive harvest netting is a seasonal product with an immovable deadline: the harvest starts when the fruit is ready, and a container that arrives three weeks late is a container that sells next year. Buying from the olive harvest net manufacturer is how Mediterranean distributors and cooperatives protect that deadline. We have knitted harvest nets since 2003 for the olive regions of Greece, Italy, Tunisia, France and Spain, and the production calendar is built around your harvest — tell us your target month and we work backwards from it, including the shipping window. The net itself is equally deadline-proof: 85–100 gsm virgin HDPE that survives being dragged over stony ground, with reinforced edges and knitted eyelets that hold when a full day’s fruit load is lifted off them.
Sized to Your Grove, Not to a Retail Shelf
We produce olive nets in eight standard panel sizes from 3×6 m to 12×12 m, covering everything from hand-harvested family groves to mechanical-shaker operations running nets under entire rows. The knitted mesh is gauged so olives stay on the net while leaves and small debris fall through — fruit rolls to the collection edge clean instead of mixing with soil and stones, which is what keeps oil quality deductions off your mill ticket. Custom panel sizes for unusual tree spacing are a production setting for us, not a surcharge.
Built for Reuse, Season After Season
An olive net earns its money across harvests, not in one. Ours is knitted from 100% virgin HDPE with a per-batch UV-stabilizer dose, speced for 3–10 seasons depending on grade and handling — drag it flat instead of baling it wet and the net outlasts the poles in the grove. Heavier 95–100 gsm grades are the choice where nets are machine-handled daily through a short, intense harvest; 85–90 gsm covers hand-harvest and mixed operations. Every container ships with factory retention samples, so a question in a future season is answered against the actual material you received.
Harvest-Deadline Logistics
A 40’HQ carries 14–15 tons of olive netting — at 85–100 gsm that is roughly 140,000–175,000 m², enough for a cooperative’s whole season. MOQ is 2 tons with mixed panel sizes in one shipment; lead time is 25–35 days after deposit; payment T/T 30/70 or 100% L/C at sight; samples free, you cover the courier. For the October–December Mediterranean harvest, orders placed by midsummer ship with comfortable margin — send your panel sizes, quantity and destination port through the contact page or WhatsApp and we reply within 24 hours with pricing and a production slot.
Olive Harvest Net Manufacturer FAQ
What size olive nets should I order?
Match panel size to tree spacing and harvest method: 3×6 to 6×6 m panels for hand harvest around individual trees, 8×8 to 12×12 m for mechanical shakers covering full rows. We make eight standard sizes from 3×6 m to 12×12 m, and custom sizes for unusual spacing.
What GSM olive net is right for my operation?
85–90 gsm for hand harvest and mixed use; 95–100 gsm where nets are machine-handled daily through an intensive harvest window. All grades are virgin HDPE with reinforced edges and knitted eyelets.
How many harvests does an olive net last?
3–10 seasons depending on grade and handling. The two lifespan killers are dragging nets while wet and storing them damp — handle them dry and a virgin-HDPE net with a proper UV package outlasts the decade’s cheaper alternatives several times over.
When should I order for the Mediterranean harvest?
For the October–December harvest, order by midsummer: production is 25–35 days after deposit, plus ocean freight. We hold production slots for harvest-deadline orders and will tell you the latest safe container date for your port.
What is the MOQ for olive harvest nets?
2 tons per order with mixed panel sizes allowed — roughly 20,000–23,000 m², sized for a cooperative or a distributor stocking one region.
