Abundant Rainfall Benefits Moroccan Agriculture

RFI Afrique Rabat 13d12d Impact 5

Satellite imagery shows changes in the landscape of central and northern Morocco due to recent rainfall. Data shows a trend of increasing dry years. The sector is struggling to resist drought conditions. This follows a period where agricultural productivity has been declining. Adriah noted an increasing frequency of dry years despite a relatively good year currently. The remarks were made in the context of rising biometry rates observed over the last 20 years. This precipitation is expected to benefit most sectors, though olive oil production faced delays as mud prevented tractor operations in fields. One large operator reported producing approximately 1,500 tons of oil this year despite these challenges. Long-term effects on olive trees remain a concern due to the weather conditions. Abundant rainfall in central and northern Morocco has significantly changed the landscape since January.
