Morocco: Olive oil at 150 dirhams?

Kamal Ben Khaled, MP for the National Rally of Independents (RNI), questioned the Minister of Agriculture, Mohamed Sadiki, about the crisis shaking the olive sector.

“Today, the olive tree is sold on the tree for 15 dirhams and the oil will reach 150 dirhams next year, and factories will close and their workers will be laid off,” Ben Khaled said on Tuesday, during the weekly oral question session at the House of Advisors.
