§ 79821 Olive Oil Producer Definition

• •If you make or help make 5,000 gallons or more of olive oil in a season, you're called a 'producer'.
• •The government might ask you to show proof that you sold your olive oil.
• •This rule started in 2014.

A farmer grows olives and makes 6,000 gallons of olive oil in a year.

Because the farmer made more than 5,000 gallons, they are a 'producer' and might have to show proof of sale if asked.
