  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Where are sunflowers grown in Morocco?
  • According to data from the High Commissioner for Planning ( HCP, 2021 ), sunflower and rapeseed areas are mainly located in Rabat-Salé-Kenitra (16,000?ha), Fes-Meknes (8000?ha) and Casablanca-Settat (2000?ha) during the 2019/2020?crop year ( Fig. 14 ). There are 2?crushing units and 5?vegetable oil refining plants in Morocco.
  • Is Physical refining better than chemical refining for vegetable oil?
  • The effects of process conditions on standard quality parameters and the nutritional quality of the oil are well documented in the literature [5, 19, 71, 72]. In conclusion, physical refining offers great several advantages over chemical refining for vegetable oils (Table 2).
  • How will Morocco meet its oil needs by 2030?
  • As regards oilseeds sector, this strategy relies on a significant increase of area from 32,500?ha in 2019 to 70,000?ha, by 2030. It also envisages increasing the yield from 12 to 18?quintals per hectare and oil production from 38,000 to 126,000?tons. As a result, Morocco aims to meet 10% of its vegetable oil needs by 2030 instead of the current 2%.
  • 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.
