Mediterranean Olive Groves: AGROPET® 5x Lighter Trellis

Mediterranean hedgerow olive growers, optimize your yields and reduce costs with AGROPET®'s trellis cable solution, designed to meet the region's practical challenges.

Challenges in Mediterranean hedgerow olive groves

Mediterranean hedgerow olive groves face labor-intensive work and higher costs when they rely on traditional steel wire trellising.

Steel wire adds weight, raises handling costs, and creates electrical conductivity risks during installation and maintenance.

Why AGROPET® trellis cable improves installation

AGROPET®'s high-tenacity polyester trellis cable is 5x lighter than steel wire, which makes handling easier, reduces labor effort, and supports more efficient crop management.

Its dielectric properties improve safety, while UV resistance and a working temperature range of −40 to +90 °C help it perform in demanding Mediterranean conditions.

Available breaking loads include:

• Ø 2.2 mm — 215 kgf
• Ø 2.6 mm — 300 kgf
• Ø 3 mm — 365 kgf
• Ø 4 mm — 405 kgf
• Ø 5 mm — 616 kgf

A practical choice for sustainable olive cultivation

AGROPET® cable is recyclable and fits common installation methods, including Gripple® tensioners and manual knotting, so you can secure it efficiently in the field.

By switching to AGROPET® trellis cable, you can lower costs, improve safety, and support more sustainable olive production.
