  • 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.
  • What is oil refining in Morocco?
  • Source: Interregional Input-Output Table for Morocco, 2013. The oil refining sector is based on the treatment of crude oil through processes to obtain finished products, such as gasoline, 50 ppm diesel, fuels, lubricants, bitumens, and intermediate products (naphtha, distillate) meeting Moroccan standards.
  • Does Morocco need a refining industry?
  • Morocco imports all its energy inputs, from which a significant share are the refined oil and gas products. Besides boosting economic growth because of its interindustry relations, the refining industry would be an alternative for the supply of energy inputs, improving energy security in the country.
  • How many vegetable oil refining plants are there in Morocco?
  • There are 2?crushing units and 5?vegetable oil refining plants in Morocco. These plants accounts for crushing capacity of 620,000?tons/year and a refining capacity of 770,000?tons/year.
  • What is the importance of reviving the oilseed sector in Morocco?
  • Revival of the oilseed sector in Morocco has great potential to reduce reliance on imports, achieve a better trade balance and improve food security. Furthermore, it may help improve the level of employment upstream and downstream of the sector, promote local sustainable development and raise the incomes of farmers and rural communities.
  • Why did Morocco start a refinery?
  • The refinery played a crucial role in meeting Morocco's domestic demand for petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. By producing these products locally, the country was less reliant on imported fuel, which helped to reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers and increase energy security.
