The United States and Morocco have signed a new agricultural cooperation agreement, reinforcing a long-standing partnership. The deal was formalized during a meeting between US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Moroccan Minister of Agriculture Mohamed Sadiki in Rabat on April 10, 2026.
The agreement focuses on enhancing bilateral trade in agricultural products, promoting scientific and technical exchanges, and collaborating on food security initiatives. It builds upon the existing US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement, which has governed trade relations since 2006.
Key areas of cooperation include improving water management, developing sustainable farming practices, and facilitating market access for products like grains, poultry, and beef. The partnership aims to address shared challenges such as climate change impacts on agriculture and global supply chain stability.
This renewed commitment is seen as a strategic move to strengthen economic ties and regional food security in North Africa. Both nations emphasized the agreement's role in supporting rural communities and fostering innovation in the agricultural sector.
