In Morocco\u2019s heartland, farmers are watching their olive groves with renewed optimism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After two difficult seasons that sent the price of olive oil soaring toward 100 dirhams a liter, growers say this year\u2019s harvest is on track to be one of the strongest in years, buoyed by late winter and spring rains that revived groves weakened by drought.<\/span><\/p>\n The harvest is expected to begin in mid-October, with producers from regions such as Kelaa Sraghna and Meknes reporting yields far higher than in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cWe anticipate output surpassing last year\u2019s by more than 75 percent, reaching as high as 90 percent in irrigated groves,\u201d said Abdellatif Tebb\u00e2lit, a cooperative farmer in Kelaa Sraghna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Still, he noted that two more irrigation cycles could further boost yields, particularly for olives destined for oil presses.<\/span><\/p>\n Morocco plants more olive trees than any other fruit crop, with the groves covering about 65 percent of the nation\u2019s orchard area.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The sector has long been central to rural incomes and export revenues, but years of water stress pushed prices to record levels, straining households that rely on olive oil as a dietary staple.<\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s rebound, farmers say, could reset the market. Prices of last season\u2019s oil have already slipped to around 60 dirhams a liter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If the outlook holds, producers predict fresh oil could fall closer to 50 dirhams, though they warn that export policies will shape final prices.<\/span><\/p>\n Regional disparities remain. Growers in Boulemane reported hail damage late in the summer, while others noted heat waves and strong winds trimmed output. Yet industry leaders stress that newly planted groves under Morocco\u2019s Green Morocco Plan are beginning to bear fruit, strengthening resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe signs are promising,\u201d said federation head Rachid Benali. \u201cThe olive tree has endured drought, and this year, it is giving back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from content and romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this “This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
