Example
They started out providing maquila-services to other olive growers in the region, before finally producing their own oil in 2004. During the years, Esteban and Magaly have received sufficient training to run the small plantation and factor y and are even able to carry out simple analyses of the oil.
Additional information
since extraction inevitably undergoes interruptions caused by the flow of different, clearly-identifiable batches in and out of the facilities, this production system is also termed "discontinuous".

The first measure was to demand from millers the maquila, that is, the portion of grain, flour or oil which they got in exchange for the milling. This failed to be applied to all the wheat, oil and cereals harvested during the year, because an unspecified part was hidden and sold on the black market.
