Introduction
The Green Morocco Plan's strategy concerns a sector which
contributes 19% of the GNP, with 15% from agriculture and 4%
from agro-industry.

This sector employs more than 4 million rural inhabitants, and
has created approximately 100,000 jobs in the agro-industry
sector.

This sector plays a substantial role in the macroeconomic
balance of the country.

Also, it is important to remember that the sector is directly
responsible for the food security of 30 million consumers.




Advantages
The geographical situation of Morocco and its proximity to
the European market, with logistical means clearly improving;

Qualified and competitive agricultural workforce compared to
the competition.

Established competitive advantages for several products
(fruits and vegetables, etc.);

The presence, at a national level, of several models of
successful agricultural businesses and agro-industries.
Strategical foundations
The First Building Block: Make agriculture a lever for growth
during the next 10 to 15 years

Second Building Block Adopt aggregation as an organizing
model for agriculture

Third building block: Insure the global development of Moroccan
agriculture, without exclusions

Fourth Building Block: Promote private investment

Fifth Building Block: Adopt a contractual approach to
accomplish the Green Morocco Plan

The Sixth Building Block: Sustainable Moroccan Agriculture

Seventh Building Block: The dismantling of the segmented
framework






Insufficient investments:
Inadequate participation of the banking system in
terms of financing agricultural projects with only 18% of
agriculturists benefiting from the allocation of loans.

Poorly developed agro-industrial infrastructure, which
represents only 24% of the number of national industries,
and that transforms only a third of the production.

A poorly subsidized agricultural sector: subsidies
allocated to Moroccan agriculture attain only 8%,
compared to other countries where subsidies attain 30 to
70%.

Morocco benefits from only 60% and 28% of the tariff
quota for fresh and processed products respectively.


Insufficient organization:

The agricultural sector is very poorly organized and there is
a near-absence of inter-professional interaction.

Insufficient management and supervision:
National agriculture is weakened by the traditional
management of farms, with inadequate systems of
supervision.

Limited water resources:
Drought is one of the most important obstacles to the
development of national agriculture because of poor and
irregular rainfall. The under-valuing and overuse of surface
and ground water is due to an inefficient irrigation system.

Conclusion

The Green Morocco Plan has already played an important role
through the concession of state-owned agricultural land in the
first 2 phases, to be specific, 80,000 ha of farmland. It has
enabled the creation of 296 projects with a budget of 1.1 billion
euros, leading to the creation of 3,500 jobs.
