In the eleven months from October 2014 to August 2015, table olive imports (see next table) were higher in the United States (+11 pc) and Canada (+1 pc) but lower in the rest of the countries reported, i.e. Australia (−12 pc since November 2014) and Brazil (−6 pc since April 2015). In the case of Russia, again the August 2015 data were not available at the time of writing but the ten-month data show a constant drop since December 2014 (−16 pc).
