Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh globe artichokes in Morocco expanded gradually from 44 444 t in 2018 to 44 806 t in 2020, then contracted sharply to 40 488 t in 2021. A partial recovery to 41 001 t followed in 2022, before volume surged to a peak of 46 622 t in 2023.

Several developments shaped this trajectory. In 2020, the Wilaya of Casablanca began publishing weekly fruit and vegetable prices every Wednesday, improving market transparency and potentially supporting demand. From 2022, the government's wholesale market reform under the Generation Green strategy, including a new decree to modernize direct sales and the construction of a large wholesale market in Rabat, enhanced distribution infrastructure. These measures aimed to reduce informal trade and improve market access. The entry of Mercatus with innovative refrigeration solutions also signaled modernization of the cold chain, contributing to the market's rebound and subsequent growth.
