Spanish term or phrase: filière
los territorios en los que la filière del aceite de oliva es la columna vertebral de sus estrategias de desarrollo

I realise this is not a Spanish word, but does it mean the same as in French in this context? Could this mean the olive oil industry?
Thanks

filière
Organizational hierarchy


Explanation:
I don't speak much French, but it probably does = la jerarquia administrativa

filière [filjɛʀ]nom féminin
passer par la filière: to go through the (administrative) channels
suivre la filière: to work one's way up (through the hierarchy)

Does it mention any Federation or Organization anywhere? it would be referring to that.
