Lesieur, l’huile d’olive et la culture du Colza en Tunisie !
par K. Boumiza,
Philippe Tillous-Borde Président de Lesieur, vient de signer, vendredi dernier à Tunis, un accord de partenariat avec le groupe tunisien Hmila qui travaille déjà dans le secteur des huiles végétales. Lesieur s’adjuge ainsi un tiers du capital de Cristal Tunisie, à couté de la Raffinerie Africaine et Cristal Maroc.
Mais Lesieur ne semble pas s’arrêter en si bon chemin en Tunisie. Le président de Lesieur nous a en effet annoncé plus d’une perspective pour les huiles végétales en Tunisie et pas que dans le secteur des huiles alimentaires. Lesieur n’exclut pas en effet de s’investir (et peut-être qui sait, investir) dans la culture du Colza en Tunisie, où des régions auraient été identifiées. Lesieur regarde aussi, avec intérêt, du côté de l’huile d’olive tunisienne et son président parle de contrats programme pour son groupe. Interview.

Lorenzo’s oil is a mix of acids from rapeseed and olive oil
A Devon woman whose family has a rare genetic brain disease is taking part in a US medical study using a substance featured in a Hollywood film.
Deirdre Corr from Exmouth, and her two sons, were diagnosed six years ago with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), for which there is no known cure.
Mrs Corr is participating in the study to see if Lorenzo’s oil can halt the progression of ALD symptoms.
Lorenzo’s oil is a mixture of acids extracted from olive and rapeseed oils.
Tunisia January olive oil sales rise 65 pct
Tunisia’s olive oil exports grew 65 percent in January from a year earlier as it boosted output to meet rising world demand, official data showed on Friday.
Tunisia is North Africa’s top exporter of olive oil, which accounts for half of its farm exports. Those in turn represent more than 10 percent of the country’s total exports.
While the volume of olive oil sales abroad jumped to 26,500 tonnes in January, falling prices meant their value slipped to 97.6 million dinars from 98.8 million dinars.
More than 500,000 families depend on the labour-intensive olive oil industry in the country of 10 million, where 56 million olive trees cover around 1.6 million hectares.
