THE USE AND PROCESSING OF OLIVE HUSK IN THE DUBROVNIK DISTRICT IN THE INTERBELLUM

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores, using archive records and relevant literature, the use and processing of olive husk in the district of Dubrovnik as it was in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The reasons why oil production from husk was unsustainable are identified, as well as why this remarkable biomass, which crates great interest in organic farming today, was neglected. Olive husk was used as organic fuel for scarce facilities, although most of this valuable waste in the process of oil extraction ended up as fodder and slop. The cost-effectiveness of olive husk processing created an interest in the mid-1920s, while the topic is not less relevant today.
