Morocco's agricultural sector is experiencing a significant recovery in 2026, driven by improved rainfall and government support programs. According to the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture, cereal production is projected to reach 55 million quintals this year, a substantial increase from the drought-affected harvest of 2025.
The recovery is attributed to better rainfall distribution during the winter and spring seasons, which has benefited both rain-fed and irrigated crops. Key exports such as citrus fruits, olives, and tomatoes are also expected to rise, with the European Union remaining the primary market.
Government initiatives, including subsidies for seeds and fertilizers, as well as investments in water-efficient irrigation systems, have supported farmers. The 'Generation Green 2020-2030' strategy continues to play a central role in modernizing the sector and enhancing resilience to climate change.
Despite the positive outlook, challenges remain, including water scarcity in some regions and the need for further investment in agricultural technology. The sector employs about 40% of Morocco's workforce and contributes significantly to GDP.
