The olive oil business was the "legitimate" cover for the Corleone family rackets: gambling and unions. When Michael said the family was leaving the olive oil business, he meant that they were quitting New York and relocating their operations to Nevada to the (legitimate)casino business.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
