Spanish term or phrase: contra temporada
Es sobre la producción de olivares de una empresa.

Tenemos la ventaja de producir *contra temporada* de Europa, y de tener facilidad de exportación a mercados muy importantes como Brasil, México y EE.UU.

Comprendo el significado pero no conozco el equivalente en inglés.

Gracias!

our seasons are different (to those in Europe)


Explanation:
to have production seasons that are the reverse of those in Europe.

They mean that because of being in a diferent hemisphere, their production cycles are staggered compared to Europe, which means that they can serve the market while Europe is hibernating

es importante reseñar que los argentinos no están produciendo fuera de su propia temporada, sino fuera de la de los productores europeos. Creo que habrías que elegir una traducción que deje eso claro.
