Olive oil even more expensive in Morocco

In Morocco, inflation continues to affect olive oil due to the drop in production. The harvests are far from meeting the needs of Moroccans.

The first olive harvests in October are disappointing. “High temperatures in most regions known for olive oil production have significantly affected harvests so far,” he told Madar21an owner of an olive oil mill near Fkih Ben Salah, pointing out that “most of the mills that have started pressing have seen their production decrease by almost half. » Also, he indicated that the low yield in certain regions is compensated by the production of other regions. “The mills in the Fkih Ben Salah region, for example, compensate for their deficit with production from other areas such as Kelaa des Sraghna,” said the professional.
