The rich olive culture continued its existence in North Africa, East Medditerrenean and islands which were under the Ottoman sovereignty. The rules conceming to the production, taxation and marketing of olive and olive oil were settled and these rules were disclosed in kanunnames. Allocation of a great share of the olive oils produced in islands and Agean region to İstanbul is seen as precaution for supplying the need of the capital.
