IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM FOR OLIVE CULTIVATION MANAGEMENT
Kontext
En la actualidad, los agentes implicados en el sector del olivar están realizando un gran esfuerzo para la tecnificación del mismo. Al tratarse de un sector típicamente tradicional, los primeros esfuerzos implementados han ido encaminados a la mejora tecnológica de los procesos productivos, mediante el uso de tecnologías de automatización de última generación. La gran calidad de los aceites de oliva virgen extra y el alto valor añadido conseguido con esta tecnificación han de llevar consigo una profesionalización a lo largo de toda la cadena de valor. Sin embargo, esta es aún escasa lo cual condiciona su desarrollo, frenándolo y recortando su dinamismo. Provocando una baja orientación al mercado y una débil gestión empresarial, que se materializa en una ineficiente gestión comercial y una debilidad organizativa en las actividades de suministro de inputs.
El entorno productivo del sector del olivar presenta una serie de oportunidades de mejora de la competitividad que podrían ser aprovechadas con las capacidades y conocimientos adecuados. La transferencia de tecnología de otros sectores más maduros y la implementación de nuevos enfoques de gestión y manejo de recursos permitirán la adaptación de un entorno productivo tradicional, dónde las actuaciones se llevan a cabo en base a la experiencia y costumbres de la zona, hacia un entorno productivo más tecnificado y controlado, donde se consiga un mayor control de tareas y tiempos y se pueda conseguir una optimización de recursos.
Objectives
The main objective of this project is to achieve the maximum production in olive cultivation, with the lowest costs and ensuring both high efficiency in the use of natural resources and reduction of the environmental impact. With the activities planned and the developments to be achieved through the implementation of this innovative project, the Operational Group will be able to improve water and soil management, making more efficient and rational use of water and inputs, and to achieve the optimisation in the use of energy and resources in olive growing for oil production, ensuring the final quality of the product so as to obtain 100% of the Premium category extra virgin olive oil .

The main objective of this project is to achieve the maximum production in olive cultivation, with the lowest costs and ensuring both high efficiency in the use of natural resources and reduction of the environmental impact. With the activities planned and the developments to be achieved through the implementation of this innovative project, the Operational Group will be able to improve water and soil management, making more efficient and rational use of water and inputs, and to achieve the optimisation in the use of energy and resources in olive growing for oil production, ensuring the final quality of the product so as to obtain 100% of the Premium category extra virgin olive oil .
THE MAIN RESULTS EXPECTED:
- The use of a database fed by manual techniques (hours of work, machinery used, costs, ..) and by the information provided by the wireless sensor network (climatic data, GPS, soil moisture, leaf color, ..), will allow to obtain a greater and precise information that will facilitate the decision making process.
- The possibility of accessing the exploitation database from any location will result in greater accessibility, efficiency and traceability, and will favor the exchange of information and cooperation between olive sector agents.
- From the environmental point of view, agronomic techniques leading to a more rational use of agricultural inputs and resources will be implemented, by means of more accurate dose of water and fertilizers.
- From the economic point of view, the potential savings in inputs, due to a precise application and the better development of the crop, will lead to a reduction of operating costs.
