Redouane Arrach, Secretary General of Morocco's Ministry of Agriculture, addressed the ongoing fertilizer crisis and its impact on the agricultural sector during the spring meeting of the Paris Forum. He outlined a reform of the subsidy model to better support farmers.
The crisis, driven by global price volatility and supply chain disruptions, has severely affected Moroccan farmers, particularly smallholders. Arrach emphasized the need for a more targeted subsidy system to ensure efficient use of resources and reduce dependency on imported inputs.
The reform aims to stabilize input costs and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Details on the new subsidy mechanism are expected to be finalized in the coming months, with consultations involving farmer unions and industry stakeholders.
