Abstract

This paper aims to present a sustainability model for the olive sector in Palestine. Based on a Life Cycle Analysis, the entire sector processes are accomplished in three main stages: cultivation, oil extraction, and oil treatment. The main inputs for these three stages are energy, water, labor, and machines with different values for each stage. The value creation index can be defined as the ratio of revenues to costs. Value creation index is calculated for each stage of the olive sector and the results showed that the total value creation for the sector is greater than two indicating olive sector feasibility.
