Criminal gangs exploiting the olive oil crisis in Spain | DW Documentary

[@12345678939218]

explaining to those who don't understand, olive trees are very sensitive to cracks like the ones shown in the video, storms can also cause damage of equal or greater magnitude, the tree goes into recession and only returns to producing at maximum capacity several years later. Tree pruning must be done by experienced and knowledgeable people, and harvesting must be carried out with care. This is one of the reasons why the product is expensive, among others.

[@simphiwelehlohonolo4961]

Well informed, thank you for this information

[@hhwippedcream]

Yes thank you for the education. I had a Cypriot neighbor growing up that insisted his uncle was the only fellow who really knew how to properly prune an olive. This guy and his traditional ecological knowledge have that tree standing at nearly 50 yrs old when nearly all the others in the neighborhood planted when the development was built have died

[@Davincifier]

This applies to every tree on earth

[@hhwippedcream]

@@Davincifier astute observation!

[@alainvosselman9960]

My sister bought an Olive farm .. she has 7 plots of land now but all were worthless this year bc of the droughts; Hopefully we get to harvest next year i'll be helping out. I suppose if the farms that produced this year and have damaged trees.. a lot of stealing will be happening in those areas that will produce a good harvest the upcoming year. I am already thinking of a way to tackle this should it occur. Thanks for your information !

No prison for stealing 80,000 euro??? This is madness. They should be in jail for 5 years minimum and be forced to empty their bank accounts to pay it back. Are the judges/ police in league with the gangs?

Pedro Amarille gathered roughly 200 pieces of coconut fruits worth ₱2,000 from a property in Bohol in 2011. He had been sentenced to a jail term of eight years to 14 years, eight months, and one day. The Supreme Court eventually threw out the conviction but, the Philippines takes coconut theft seriously.

[@jeffhatmaker817]

Interesting video. There are drones with thermal imaging cameras for around a $1,000 dollars. They will clearly and quickly detect body heat. Law enforcement agencies use them regularly to catch fleeing criminals. Obviously someone would have to monitor the drone, but one person could monitor the entire farm (obviously only during harvest season when thefts are likely). Additionally there are certain breeds of dogs that would protect their products.

[@__Wanderer]

it's what I was thinking as well - you could even automate it and have an automatic detection of "white spots" or warm areas that could be people. You have a system of 6 drones that take it in turns to rise up for 2 minutes (perhaps waiting 5-10 minutes between snapshots), take a panorama and then drop and go into standby. Couple that to an app with starlink and you can relay any intrusions automatically to an app on the farmers phone. If a target is found within the area of interest (the farm) at a time that is not authorized, the drone stays in the area to give live feed to the farmer.
