Meknès, in the Fès-Meknès region, is reinforcing its position as a key agro-food hub in Morocco, leveraging its agricultural, industrial, and human assets to attract structural investments and integrate further into global value chains.
According to recent reports, the region has seen a surge in agro-food projects, including new processing units for olives, dairy, and cereals. These investments are part of Morocco's broader strategy to boost food security and exports.
Local officials highlight the region's strategic location, access to raw materials, and skilled workforce as key factors. The new projects are expected to create hundreds of jobs and increase processing capacity.
However, specific investment figures and timelines were not independently verified. The trend aligns with national efforts to modernize the agro-food sector and reduce import dependence.
