Filière Oléicole de la Région de Meknès: enjeux et perspectives de développement
Par Noureddine Ouazzani,
L’olivier, de par ses produits et leurs utilisations séculaires ainsi que ses fonctions multiples de lutte contre l’érosion, de valorisation des terres agricoles et de fixation des populations dans les zones de montagne, constitue la principale spéculation fruitière cultivée au Maroc avec environ 590.000 Ha, soit près de 58 % du verger arboricole national. Il s’étend sur tout le territoire national, exception faite de la bande côtière Atlantique, en raison de ses capacités d’adaptation à tous les étages bioclimatiques, allant des zones de montagne (1.200 mm) aux zones arides et sahariennes (moins de 200 mm).
Ce secteur, qui intéresse plus de 400.000 exploitations agricoles, contribue dans une forte proportion à la formation du revenu d’une large frange d’agriculteurs démunis et assure, à travers ses produits huile et olive, un rôle déterminant dans l’alimentation des populations rurales. Il contribue à hauteur de 5% dans la formation du PIB Agricole. Par ailleurs, les productions oléicoles contribuent activement à l’équilibre de la balance commerciale, sachant que le Maroc est le 2ème exportateur mondial des olives de table, après l’Espagne, avec une moyenne annuelle de près de 60.000 T.

California closer to standards for olive oil
- Would make state definitions conform to world standards
- Current California law does not define olive oil grades
A bill to update California’s definitions of olive oil grades to conform to international standards is headed to a vote by the California Assembly.
The Assembly Appropriations Committee voted Wednesday to approve Senate Bill 634, authored by Sen. Patricia Wiggins, D – Santa Rosa.
The bill would also define “flavored olive oil” to reflect market practices and would require that olive oil be labeled consistent with the updated food grade definitions. The Appropriations Committee approved the bill as part of its consent calendar.
“Olive oil is a rapidly growing industry in California, with volume projected to increase by 1,000 percent in the next five years,” says Ms. Wiggins. “California also produces 99.9 percent of the domestically grown olive oil in the U.S.”

Olives can prevent bone illnesses
New research suggests a diet high in olive oil, vegetables and fruit may help prevent osteoporosis.
With poor diet one of the key factors in brittle bone diseases French scientists have discovered the antioxidants that are present in olives can help ward off the degenerative bone illness.
While performing tests on the olive plant the researchers found that some of its compounds helped protect bones.
Osteopath Dr Geoff Hayhurst, the man behind Paradox Omega 3/6/9 Oil, said the findings show the necessity for people to eat a diet rich in olive oil, vegetables and fruit.
“Antioxidants can help prevent the inflammatory processes from occurring and also help calcium absorption which is important during growth and in the prevention of diseases like osteoporosis,” he said.
“By following a Mediterranean diet with plenty of olive oil, fruit and vegetables you can introduce more antioxidants into your body and for those whose lifestyle does not permit taking in antioxidants through fruit and vegetables, supplements are available.”
