Description

Chiiki wo Tsunagu Co., Ltd. is engaged in olive-related projects in both Japan and Italy with the goal of revitalizing abandoned farmland. Founded in 2014, this young Japanese company is quite unique in that it operates an olive farm in Tuscany, Italy, and offers agricultural internships for Japanese participants. In Japan, the company collaborates with local governments and other organizations to promote olive cultivation, and also holds lectures to spread the appeal of olive oil.

In 2023, they launched a D2C brand called "OliOlive", which uses 100% olives from their own reclaimed farm, and began direct shipping of products “straight from the farmer across the sea.”
