Olives hot crop in Tenerife?

TenerifeNews reports that:

The search for alternative crops has led one Tenerife municipality to give serious consideration to the olive and a quiet agricultural revolution is going on down Arico way, where some fifty groves are already flourishing. Next year the trees will bear their first fruit and it is confidently expected that 2006 will see the first commercial production of olive oil in Tenerife.

Interesting to see where it will head as bananas and tomatoes historically have been the favored crop in Tenerife.
