The olive cultivation in the Sefrou region spans over 31,000 hectares, accounting for approximately 27% of the total agricultural land in the area.

This highlights the significant role that olive farming plays in the lives of local farmers and the community.

This season is distinguished by the adoption of modern techniques for harvesting and preparing olives before the pressing process.

Specifically, in the Agbalou area, a state-of-the-art production unit is dedicated to cleaning and packaging the harvested olives, which contributes to improving the quality of olives used for producing olive oil.

This approach reflects the farmers’ and investors’ desire for technological advancements that meet contemporary market demands and enhance the competitiveness of local products.
