Moroccan agriculture has played a central role in the country’s economy for centuries. Morocco, with its fertile soils and diverse climate, has always been conducive to agricultural production. Over the years, the agricultural sector has evolved significantly, moving from subsistence farming to modernized, export-oriented agriculture.
The Green Morocco Plan, launched in 2008, was a decisive turning point in this development. This strategic plan aimed to modernize agricultural infrastructures, promote the use of innovative technologies, and encourage the export of Moroccan agricultural products, such as citrus fruits, olive oil, and fruit and vegetables. Thanks to these reforms, Morocco has become one of the leading exporters of citrus and agricultural products to Europe and other parts of the world.
However, despite this progress, challenges remain. Climate change, recurrent periods of drought and water resource management pose major challenges for the future of the sector. The development of irrigation and the implementation of more sustainable farming practices are essential to ensure the resilience of the Moroccan agricultural sector in the face of future challenges.
