The situation
The manager of a mid-sized cooperative in Jaén or Córdoba decides when to sell the season's oil. The method: call three brokers, look at last year's price and decide. In a market where weekly volatility exceeds 5%, that decision is worth a lot of money.
With Olearia Intelligence
- Every Monday they check the Intelligence dashboard: current price against the historical average for seasons with similar output.
- They review Copernicus climate signals: water stress in Italy or Greece can cut European output and push prices up.
- They compare their production costs —energy, fertiliser, transport— with the EU-4 average and know their real margin.
- They look at probabilistic scenarios at 30, 60 and 90 days: not a single forecast but a range with probabilities to size the risk.
- They go into the broker negotiation with the same information as the big operators.
Sell when the data says so, not on instinct.
