Heba Press – Fez
In coordination with the Independent Water and Electricity Distribution Agency of Fez, the Ministry of the Interior has scheduled field operations since 2023 to implement the resulting emergency subdivision project to combat pollution waste from olive presses in the Sébou Basin, for an investment cost amounting to 548 million dirhams.
The project includes the construction of 7 stations in each of the prefectures of Fez, Sefrou, Moulay Yacoub and Taounate. These stations contain 28 evaporation ponds, covering an area of 100 hectares.
The turf is transported from the olive presses directly to these basins via tanker trucks.
This measure aims to collect grasslands that contribute to the deterioration of vegetation and water pollution, as well as to protect the Sebu basin from pollution and reduce its negative effects.
With the active participation of olive press owners, the meadow is transported to designated ponds for processing and drying, with the aim of avoiding the random discharge of waste from the olive pressing process into waterways.
This project aims to preserve environmental resources in the face of the water crisis facing the country. It also helps to qualify the olive oil production sector as a sector of the future within the framework of sustainable and integral development.
