Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh peas in Morocco experienced a pronounced contraction, falling from 122.5 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 77.6 thousand tonnes in 2021, before a recovery began, reaching 90.4 thousand tonnes in 2023.

A major wholesale market reform for fruits and vegetables was initiated in 2023, introducing direct marketing to modernize distribution channels and reduce intermediaries. This structural shift likely supported the market's rebound by improving supply chain efficiency and producer access to consumers.

In 2024, the reform was formally enacted through a decree on direct marketing, while simultaneous investments in cold storage infrastructure and the expanding influence of large retail distributors further shaped the market landscape. Climatic pressures and evolving food safety regulations also played a role in the sector's dynamics.
