Morocco Turns to Spanish Olive Oil Imports Amid Domestic Shortage

This opening to imports follows an observation: domestic olive oil production is below needs, and prices have soared. To remedy this, authorizations have been granted to Moroccan structures, both companies and cooperatives.

The choice of Spain as a source of supply is easily explained. The country is the undisputed leader in olive oil production around the Mediterranean. Its annual production exceeds one million tons.
