MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER
The new agricultural development strategy, known as the Green Morocco Plan and presented to H. M. the King Mohammed VI during the First National Agriculture Conference, rests upon the following four foundations:
- The improvement of agriculturalists' revenues;
- The contribution to food safety and security;
- The integration of the agricultural sector into national and international markets;
- The conservation of the agricultural environment and the securing of potential production.
The Green Morocco Plan aims at enhancing the value of all the territory's agricultural potential, thus breaking away from the simplistic view of a dual system that opposes the modern sector and that of the traditional and food-crop sector.
To do so, the Green Morocco Plan rests upon two pillars:
- Pillar I aims at the accelerated development of a modern form of agriculture, characterized by high value added products and by its adaptation to the market economy ;
- Pillar II aims at upgrading the situation of fragile stakeholders and at fighting against rural poverty through the improvement of farming income.
The Green Morocco Plan has adopted an innovative model: aggregation. This model allows for the surpassing of constraints linked to the parceling of property while insuring that aggregated farms have access to modern production technologies, to financing and to the market.
This model is based on the releasing of a new wave of massive investments around new actors with strong managerial skills. It also calls for the optimization of the industrial sector and the pooling of resources around private Economic Interest groups and inter-professional groups. To help achieve this, “Offre-Maroc” consists of win-win Public-Private sector partnerships based on clearly defined contracts.
The declination of the Green Morocco Plan into Regional Agricultural Plans consists of building a regional vision of agricultural production that respects, as much as possible, the balance between both pillars, that permits the Minister of Agriculture and Maritime Fisheries and his regional partners to engage in common objectives, and that mobilizes regional and national funds as well as those from credit companies, investors and other sponsors interested in supporting Morocco in its implementation of the Green Morocco Plan.
This dynamic undertaking aims at achieving tangible and measurable results in terms of the consolidation and the setting up of new dynamics in the development of agriculture in the territories.
On the basis of guidelines set at a national level and in regional assessments, a great number of potential projects and action plans have been retained in the preparation of the Green Morocco Plan.
This plan constitutes a road map for agricultural development in each of the regions that is supported by both the central government and public authorities in their undertaking of sectoral and institutional reforms.
The Agricultural Development Agency has been created as part of the restructuring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Maritime Fisheries for the implementation of the Green Morocco Plan.
It is responsible, among other things, for the promotion of national offers of agricultural investments through the organization of events, fairs, communication campaigns and advocacy to better inform investors and stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
