Grove Removal and Replanting Calculator

A cleared olive grove does not come back in a season. Even if saplings are planted the same year, the soil does not return its old income for years — this calculates what that gap costs.

How the calculation works

The model is not invented here. It is the same calculation as our article on the ten-year decision: a replanted grove reaches 10% of full yield in the first harvest year, then 25, 45, 65, 80, 90 and finally 100%. If you change the years, the same curve is scaled to the new range.
The price is live. Leaving the price blank uses the average of exchange registrations for oil olives over the last 12 months — not a single day's registration, which does not represent a season.
Twenty trees per dekar is the traditional rainfed assumption (15-25 in the literature). Hedgerow planting exceeds 200 per dekar and changes the whole calculation — see 20 trees per dekar or 250?
Gross, not net. No costs are deducted from the income figures; the loss is the income that does not arrive.
