Olive Farming
Olive Farming: stock and warehouse, production and shipment, customer accounts and reporting.
Challenges
- Yield and cost cannot be separated per olive grove plot.
- The milling yield (oil per kilogram) is not recorded.
- Harvest labour is not tracked by day.
- Olive and olive-oil stock get mixed into a single item.
Workflows
From plot to harvest
- The olive grove plot is defined with tree count and age.
- Harvest volume is entered on the plot and yield per tree is derived.
- Harvest labour is posted to the plot by day and by person.
Milling and yield
- The olive quantity sent to milling is deducted from stock.
- The oil obtained is booked in and the yield ratio is computed.
- Olives and oil are tracked as two separate stock items.

FAQ
Can I calculate the milling yield ratio?
Yes — the olives sent to milling and the oil obtained are ratioed to give the yield.
Can I hold olives and oil as separate stock?
Yes — they are separate stock items; milling deducts one and books in the other.
Can I see yield by plot?
Yes — the harvest is entered on the plot and divided by tree count to give the yield.
Can I track harvest labour?
Yes — labour is posted to the plot as a cost by day and by person.
Can I derive the cost per litre?
Yes — plot cost and milling output are held together, so the per-litre cost is computed.
