The most excellent climatic conditions in combination with the irrigation and the harvesting of the olive fruit by hand have as a result the most excellent quality and the distinct flavour of Kalamata olives that are exported to the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and other countries too. Today in Messinia 1500 individuals deal with the production of table olives and 2.500 tons are produced annually.
