Spanish olive oil in Morocco?

Morocco has reportedly started importing olive oil from Spain to make up for its deficit and cope with the rising prices of this product, which is very popular with Moroccans.

Sources in the sector revealed that several agricultural cooperatives have started importing Spanish olive oil to Morocco, after obtaining authorization from the competent authorities. The drastic drop in national production due to the persistent drought in the kingdom for almost six years is pushing producers to import. From 106,000 tonnes this year, production could fall by half next season, we learn.
