Step into the world of "Liquid Gold"! 🌿🏺

In this 2-minute bubble chart race, we visualize the global production of Olive Oil from 1960 to 2024. Olive oil isn't just a kitchen staple; it's a multi-billion dollar industry with deep roots in history, culture, and health.

Why a Bubble Chart? As you watch the bubbles expand and contract, you’ll see the massive scale of production differences. While dozens of countries produce olive oil, a select few—primarily in the Mediterranean—dominate the global supply.

Key Storylines to Watch:

Spain’s Unstoppable Lead: Watch how Spain’s "bubble" consistently dwarfs the competition, cementing its place as the world’s leading producer.

The Battle for Second Place: Witness the shifting ranks between Italy and Greece throughout the late 20th century.

The Rise of North Africa: Keep an eye on the rapid growth of production in Tunisia and Morocco as they become major global players.

Harvest Volatility: Notice how bubbles shrink during certain years—often a direct result of droughts or "off-years" in olive tree biological cycles.

This data provides a fascinating look at agricultural trends, climate impacts, and the economic power of the Mediterranean basin over the last six decades.
