The favorable weather conditions and advancements in farming techniques are cited as key factors contributing to this exceptional harvest. This increased production underscores Morocco’s growing importance as a major player in the global olive oil market.
The agriculture sector is a vital component of the Moroccan economy, and this year’s projected olive harvest is expected to contribute significantly to the nation’s economic growth. Further details regarding specific export strategies and market distribution are anticipated in the coming weeks as the harvest progresses.
