Morocco, which has an arable land of 8 million hectares and great agro-climatic wealth, generates a diversified agricultural production, says the Euro Med Invest Business Guide. In 2016, Moroccan agribusiness exports to Europe reached €3.1 billion (seafood products, fruits and vegetables essentially), while imports from the Union amounted to €2 billion. With the ambitious Green Morocco Plan, the government has since 2008 been supporting the structuring of large high added value poles as well as small-scale agriculture, to develop local productions in the best possible way, explains the Guide. According to the Euro Invest Business Guide, the Moroccan government has also been supporting agro-industry since 2009, the latter being promoted to the level of “global business of Morocco” by the National Pact for Industrial Emergence, alongside fishing, with the Halieutis plan. This publication has been produced within the framework of the EU-ROMED Invest Business Intelligence with the financial assistance of the European Union.
