Morocco\u2019s agricultural and fisheries exports rose to an unprecedented 8 billion dollars in 2021, up 20% compared with 2022, the agriculture ministry said.<\/p>\n
This was despite the fact that there was not enough rainfall to support cereal production, which dropped 67% from 3.4 million tons to 3.6 million.<\/p>\n
The third position is now held by agricultural and fisheries exports, just behind phosphates sales and the automotive sector.<\/p>\n
Exports of fruit and vegetables rose 10% to 2.3million tons. According to the ministry, red fruits exports increased 20% to 132k Tons.<\/p>\n
Demand on Morocco\u2019s citrus increased notably on the US market while fisheries exports increased 13% in volume and 16% in value, reaching 2.72 billion dollars.<\/p>\n
However, as of November, the figures show that Morocco’s imports of foodtuffs equaled its exports. This was largely due to an increasing wheat bill that stood at 2.2 million dollars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
