4. Moroccan Agriculture at a Crossroads
Huge opportunities But major obstacles
…
Very strong growth in domestic Vulnerability of Smallholder Sector
demand
Land tenure problems
Strong growth in overall demand
for Mediterranean-type products
Overexploitation of water
resources
Recognized comparative
advantages in fruits & vegetables Inadequate policy & regulatory
frameworks
Bilateral & Regional Trade Lack of adequate extension
Agreements services and insufficient support
to capability building
6. The Challenge
to reliably produce increasing supplies and more varieties of food, mainly
through higher yields using less water and other resource inputs in an
environmentally friendly manner – and at reasonable and affordable prices
for consumers
This challenge must be met as the climate changes, and as almost every
input to the food production, processing and consumption chain increases
in cost.
This can only be done by mobilizing technology in all kinds of agriculture
including smallholders, using all sources of water and achieving much
better coordination, cooperation and partnerships among the major
stakeholders involved
