BENGHAZI, Libya, May 17 (Reuters) - Libyan state oil firm AGOCO, which is active in the east of the OPEC member country, is producing around 270,000 barrels a day of crude, unchanged from a week ago, a company spokesman said on Sunday.

The firm's Hariga export port and connected Sarir and Messla oilfields are working normally, he said.

But crude supplies to the Zueitina port, also located in the east, are still blocked due to a protest by locals demanding jobs, another oil official said.
