Without intercropping, the activity impact on household farmers would be negative during the first five years since it takes a few years before olive trees enter into production and about 10 years to reach full productivity.

Without intercropping, the activity impact on household farmers would be negative during the first five years since it takes a few years before olive trees enter into production and about 10 years to reach full productivity.
