The economic sustainability of agro-industrial systems expresses firms’ competitive capacity
and can be achieved with greater innovation, productivity and price management. The emerging
olive oil agro-industrial systems in Brazil lack the information on economic and financial performance
that they need to grow. The objective of this study is to evaluate the financial viability of an olive grove
and the competitiveness and economic sustainability of the extra virgin olive oil using primary data
collected and analyzed by the policy analysis matrix method. The main indicators considered with
respect to current production and commercialization techniques are private and social profitability,
added value, remuneration of domestic factors and total factor productivity. It is concluded that the
emerging extra virgin olive oil agro-industrial system in Brazil has financially viable olive groves,
significant competitiveness and presents economic sustainability.
