Rasan Olive Oil
Established in 2018, Rasan Olive Oil is the
largest factory of its kind in Kurdistan and Iraq and is located in Halabja
Governorate. Olive oil carries many health as well as economic benefits.
The two main reasons for establishing Rasan
Olive Oil Factory were:
1-To produce quality locally produced olive oil in a market saturated by cheap and sub-standard imported products.
2-To invest in and develop local agricultural-industry by offering large olive oil processing to cater for the many local olive farms.
Using the latest technology, highest quality
machinery and best standards of practice Rasan produces high quality extra
virgin olive oil in 4 sizes; 250ml, 500ml, 750ml and 1000ml bottles. The
factory’s capacity is 120 tons of olive oil per day and can be increased as
demand grows.
All staff at the factory are locally sourced
professionals with the required expertise and training needed to constantly
maintain processing quality and storage of olive oil.
The size and capacity of Rasan has become a
motivation for local farmers to invest in olive oil cultivation.
To further improve quality and yield of olives, Rasan supports
local farmers by educating them on the best practices in olive cultivation and
production, and regularly holds seminars and training sessions by agricultural
engineers hosted at the factory.
