I don't think olive industry will move out in the south of euorpe, it is highly vinculated to people and villages. There are huge extensions of land dedicated to that, and that land can't be used to grow many things. As far as I remember I've only seen almond trees, sheeps, vinewoods and grain, and the last two only in plain lands. I don't know if those extensions can be used to grow more profitable stuff, but I don't think people would want to. Also olive trees require to work on them only a few times per year. The desrtuction of those olive orchards would be a death sentence for many small villages. The only thing I feel could replace some of those fields are solar panels; in those regions it's not strange to be 6 months with a single drop of rain.
They will make more $ as tourist destinations and cottage ag industry. Modern olive groves are planted for mechanization of harvests. Olive trees can go on for a hundred years even and a tree that old is no longer profitable. esp for the demand we have and for cost of labour involved. Automation will at least secure local production profitably.
