There are small olive oil producers in the US. Do they see this as a good thing?

Why wouldn't they? They can immediately raise prices by however many percent the tariff is. Probably a bit less because higher price causes lower demand. So let's say raise by half of the tariff.

Maybe it will partially offset the increased cost of everything they need to buy and sell olives.

Now when I think of it it might be a wash.

I've put together a directory of olive oil producers from California:) https://www.californiaoliveoil.info/
