Spain has dramatically increased its olive oil imports from Morocco, reporting a nearly ninetyfold increase during the first half of the year. Imports rose from €641,000 in the first six months of the previous year to approximately €58 million this year, according to Spain’s Ministry of Economy. This significant growth indicates a substantial shift in Spain’s sourcing of olive oil. The reasons behind this surge are not detailed in the provided text, but the figures demonstrate a marked dependence on Moroccan supply. This increase likely responds to domestic production challenges within Spain itself, or changing market dynamics. The data comes from Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper. Further details regarding the exact percentage growth are currently unavailable.
