There was a need to transfer tactics and strategies regarding quality olive production to small-scale producers with innovative approaches in the project implementation countries. This project was effective in conveying opportunities to the target groups through training activities, such as improving their communication skills, being brave in entrepreneurship, keeping up with technology, and owning land and olive groves. The OLIVER project focused on the common interests of young entrepreneurs and small-scale producers and tried to convince the target groups that their income levels would increase by improving the quality of their products. The project prioritized taking important steps in terms of creating more employment opportunities in the long term and contributing to the prevention of migration. It was intended to offer Portuguese and Turkish researchers the opportunity to transfer the production techniques in their own countries and learn the techniques in the partner country. With the output titled "OLIVER MANUAL", it was aimed to produce a reference book for young olive producers, food and safety policy makers, commercial-scale olive producers, sector experts, olive consumers and agricultural engineering students.
In this project, it was aimed to provide basic knowledge and competencies to producers in the project partner countries, namely Turkey and Portugal. It was aimed to increase the knowledge, awareness and experience of target groups regarding olive production and marketing with olive pruning trainings carried out face to face and in the field, as well as online trainings. The experienced academic staff of the project offered the training groups the opportunity to benefit from interaction opportunities with blended learning, online training materials and traditional place-based training, which are widely used today. As stated in the project proposal, OLIVER outputs were motivated to take an important step for medium-sized enterprises and individual producers in terms of raising awareness towards organizing a better structured market for the benefit of small and small-scale governments. The marketing training of the OLIVER project has the potential to open new areas for olive producers. The project team aimed to contribute to national policies on food and safety in Turkey and Portugal. The intellectual output produced is an important output titled "OLIVER MANUAL", a training guide for olive producers.
