Moroccocan, a new Moroccan brand, has entered the legal cannabis cosmetics market, marking a significant step in the country's emerging industry. The brand offers products such as creams and oils infused with CBD derived from locally grown cannabis, in compliance with Morocco's 2021 law that legalized cannabis for medical, cosmetic, and industrial purposes.
According to the National Agency for the Regulation of Cannabis Activities (ANRAC), Morocco has issued over 1,500 licenses to farmers and companies for legal cannabis cultivation and processing as of early 2026. The legal cannabis sector is expected to generate significant revenue, with estimates suggesting it could contribute up to $4.5 billion annually to the Moroccan economy by 2028.
Moroccocan sources its cannabis from licensed farms in the Rif region, a traditional cannabis-growing area. The brand emphasizes quality and compliance with international standards, aiming to export to European and Middle Eastern markets. The launch aligns with Morocco's strategy to regulate and formalize the cannabis industry, replacing the illicit trade that has long dominated the region.
Industry experts note that the legal cannabis cosmetics sector is growing rapidly, driven by global demand for CBD-based skincare products. Morocco's favorable climate and established agricultural expertise give it a competitive advantage in this market.
