Several municipalities in the Al Hoceima province are witnessing the start of olive harvesting operations during this period. Farmers and rural families have begun gathering olives and transporting them to olive presses, signaling the commencement of an agricultural season of great economic and social importance to the residents of many areas in the province.
Harvesting operations are ongoing in several rural areas, with initial indicators and farmer impressions suggesting that the current season may be relatively better compared to some previous seasons. This raises hopes for achieving a good harvest in terms of both quantity and quality.
The olive season is one of the most prominent agricultural milestones that contribute to activating economic activity in rural areas, given the associated activities of fruit picking and transportation to olive presses, as well as providing seasonal employment opportunities and additional income for families who rely on this activity.
Olive oil also holds an important position among local agricultural products, whether for family consumption or marketing, making the success of the season a significant factor in improving the income of many farmers and producers in the province.
As harvesting operations continue in the coming weeks, residents and farmers are awaiting the final data related to the production volume and the quality of the extracted oil, considering them key indicators for evaluating the success of the current season and its impact on the economic and social situation in the producing areas of Al Hoceima province.
