Morocco: here is the price of olive oil this year

Morocco is facing an unprecedented olive crisis. Olive production planned for this year is experiencing a dizzying drop, a direct consequence of the years of drought that have plagued the country. And this will of course be reflected in the final price.

According to the Minister of Agriculture, Ahmed El Bouari, in a recent statement, the harvest is expected to reach only 950,000 tonnes, a drop of 11% compared to last year and 40% compared to a normal year. . Olive trees, hard hit by lack of water, are struggling to produce sufficient fruit.
