The **Spanish Ministry of Agriculture** has issued an order in the **Official State Gazette** requiring oil mills to store 12% of their olive oil production from November 2026. This marks the first time **Spain** has used this **European Commission**-authorised mechanism. Current production is estimated at 1.6 million tons, reaching 120% of the six-year average. While the **CNMC** opposes the intervention, mills can choose which oil categories to withdraw to build reserves. Non-compliance fines may reach 10,000 euros per breach. The measure aims to stabilise a market where prices at origin have dropped to 3.23 euros per kilo, below the 5 euro threshold farmers need to avoid losses. The government will re-evaluate these mandatory storage levels in 2027 based on demand and price shifts. ## Related news [#Spain]() #LabourReform #Absenteeism [#SpanishEconomy]() #BusinessClimate 5 November 2026 at 16:10 ## [Spanish firms demand labour reform for absenteeism]() > A Spanish Chamber of Commerce study reveals 80% of business owners seek legal changes as temporary disability rates rise across Spain.
