Maroc, Huile d’olive: Les industriels dépités
Ils ne savent plus où donner de la tête. En cause la longue chaîne d’intermédiaires et une spéculation à la règle qui empêchent les industriels marocains de pouvoir faire des prévisions fiables.
Cet état des faits avait réussi, l’année dernière à porter le prix de l’huile d’olive à 50 DH le litre sur le marché international, avant de baisser de 50% au bout de quelques mois. Sur le marché local, au même moment, il est passé de 8 DH à 4 Dh au prix de gros. Pour réguler ce marché, à défaut d’une vraie politique tant promise, les industriels recourent au fonds dit capital oléa lancé par le CIH, visant à mettre en place des projets intégrés (production-transformation-commercialisation) dans des fermes de 2.000 ha et barrer ainsi la route aux intermédiaires. Le Maroc produit à peine 90.000 tonnes par an…

Olives & Vitamins
Prized by the ancient civilizations of Athens and Rome, olives are little fruits packed with goodness.
Their history dates back thousands of years and it’s hardly surprising when you consider just how good for us olives are. They are an abundant source of calcium, containing over 100mg per 100 grams.
This vital mineral is necessary for the smooth functioning of the heart muscles, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle growth and blood clotting. They also contain magnesium and phosphorus, which with calcium, are the three essentials minerals for a healthy heart.
Olives are the best fruit source of the trace mineral copper which helps the body absorb iron, also present in olives, and assists with the formation of muscle fibres and healthy, strong bones. Both of these minerals also essential for healthy blood.
If your man is lacking sex-drive and you want to ward off colds and flu, olives are the food you should be eating! Olives are packed with zinc, essential in the digestion process and in the control of insulin. Zinc also contains enzymes which helps to break down alcohol. Olives also contain vitamins B2, B3, and B6 essential for a healthy nervous system.

Peace being sown among olive trees
Jewish volunteers help Palestinians harvest crops
Texts & Pictures by John Murphy,
The day is hot and dusty on this West Bank hillside, but 53-year-old Fuad Amer moves with the energy of a man half his age, stripping the fruit from his olive trees in giant handfuls, plucking others from the high branches with a surgeon’s care.
His enthusiasm is understandable. This is the first time in four years that Amer has been able to harvest his olives.
Last year, he says, Jewish settlers set fire to his olive grove and destroyed his harvest. Before that, gun-toting settlers forced his family from the grove when they started picking. Israeli authorities, trying to avoid further confrontations, ordered him to stay away, Amer says, and the settlers helped themselves to his olives.
But this season, an Israeli high court decision granting Palestinian farmers protection from settler violence means that Amer will be able to harvest the olives from his 60 trees.
Hundreds of Israeli soldiers and police are patrolling stony hillside groves near Jewish settlements in the West Bank, vowing to keep the peace. Palestinians, usually fearful of Israeli authorities, are welcoming their presence.
“We are happy that the army is here. We feel like we’re being protected,” said Amer, who has been harvesting his olives within shouting distance of the hilltop settlement of Bracha. So far, he says, there have been no problems.

Olive Oil Good For More Than The Monounsaturated Fats
Olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, has been considered moderately heart healthy for some time now, with most reports crediting the monounsaturated fat as healthier than saturated fats. However, this study says olive oil is also a great source of antioxidants and polyphenols, which can be heart healthy. In this study, the olive oil raises the level of good “HDL” in subjects. HDL is generally difficult to improve very much.
