On June 30, 2026, the High Commission for Planning (HCP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) presented the Moroccan Food Composition Table (TMCA) in Salé, Morocco. This national reference tool aims to standardize data on the nutritional content of foods consumed in Morocco.
The TMCA provides detailed information on macronutrients, micronutrients, and energy values for over 1,000 food items commonly found in Moroccan diets. It is designed to support researchers, policymakers, and health professionals in assessing dietary patterns and addressing malnutrition.
According to the HCP, the table was developed using laboratory analyses and data from national surveys, with technical support from the FAO. The initiative aligns with Morocco's efforts to improve food security and public health.
The launch event included presentations on the methodology and potential applications of the TMCA, such as in nutrition education, food labeling, and agricultural planning.
