Vegetable Oil Processing Plants From in Morocco

Vegetable Oil Processing Plant Turnkey Project in Morocco

How many vegetable oil refining plants are there in Morocco?
There are 2crushing units and 5vegetable oil refining plants in Morocco. These plants accounts for crushing capacity of 620,000tons/year and a refining capacity of 770,000tons/year.
How does the oil market affect Morocco?
Morocco is directly impacted by these fluctuations given that the country imports almost its total needs in vegetable oils, oilseeds and meals. The high dependence on imported vegetable oils and oilseed products has a detrimental effect on the economy of Morocco and weighs heavily on the country’s trade balance.
Which industrial technologies are used for vegetable oils’ refining?
The present review aimed at comparing the two main industrial technologies used for vegetable oils’ refining, namely, chemical refining and physical refining. Chemical refining removes free fatty acids by soda neutralization.
What crops are grown in Morocco?
The main oilseed crop grown in Morocco are sunflower, rapeseed, and groundnut intended more for direct consumption than for the production of oil. Their cultivation area represents currently less than 1% of the country’s total useful agricultural surface and their production covers less than 2% of the country’s vegetable oil needs.
