The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has selected Morocco as a partner country for its Food for Progress program for fiscal year 2026. The announcement was made by the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), which administers the initiative.
The Food for Progress program aims to improve agricultural productivity and expand trade of agricultural products in developing countries. For Morocco, the program will focus on enhancing the country's agricultural trade capacity and supporting climate-smart agriculture practices to build resilience against drought and other environmental challenges.
Funding for the program is authorized by the US Farm Bill. The specific projects and funding amounts for Morocco under the 2026 allocation will be determined following further development and agreement between the two nations. The selection underscores the ongoing agricultural partnership between the United States and Morocco.
