Morocco will suspend imports of soft wheat from June 1 to July 31, 2026, following a significantly improved agricultural season after several years of drought, according to the president of the National Federation of Flour Millers.
The decision, announced on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, aims to support local production and reduce reliance on foreign grain. The federation president noted that the current harvest is expected to be substantially better than in recent years, allowing for a temporary halt in imports.
This move comes after Morocco faced severe drought conditions that reduced domestic wheat output and increased import needs. The suspension is intended to stabilize the market and encourage the use of locally grown wheat.
Details on the exact volume of the harvest or specific import figures were not immediately available from the federation. The suspension period covers the peak of the domestic harvest season.
