Earlier Report Observations

The Moroccan rapeseed market was shaped by sustained government efforts under the Green Morocco Plan, which mobilized significant funding and established a guaranteed minimum price for producers. This support contributed to a doubling of oilseed cultivation areas and helped maintain domestic production at 3 000 tons in 2018. The subsequent launch of the Maghreb Oléagineux program in 2019, co-financed by the European Union, introduced European seed varieties and extensive farmer training to modernize the sector. Production temporarily eased to 2 000 tons that year but recovered to 3 000 tons in 2020, a rebound supported by a decade-long rise in domestic consumption of vegetable oils and meal.

Market volumes held at 3 000 tons in 2021, underpinned by the ongoing Maghreb Oléagineux initiative and strengthened advisory services for farmers. Output then shifted to 2 000 tons in 2022 and stabilized near that level in 2023. Recent rainfall in key growing regions like Rabat-Salé-Kénitra provided favorable conditions for the 2023 crop, while the state continued to pursue long-term targets of expanding rapeseed cultivation to reduce import dependency.
