Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, Morocco's rye market volume showed slight growth, moving from 2 352 t to 2 373 t. This period was underpinned by the continued implementation of the Plan Maroc Vert, which aimed to enhance agricultural productivity and segment farms, supporting stable cereal output. In 2020, the agro-food industry maintained operations despite the COVID-19 pandemic by following health protocols, ensuring uninterrupted local supply.

The market gradually contracted to 2 352 t by 2023. Post-pandemic economic recovery in 2021 was tempered by climate volatility that constrained agricultural production. A historic drought in 2022, the most severe in three decades, significantly pressured cereal yields, though rye production demonstrated relative resilience with only a modest decline. Concurrently, government initiatives to stimulate private investment in agriculture, such as the new investment charter and the Mohammed VI Fund, sought to bolster the sector against climatic and economic shocks.
