Agriculture is undoubtedly an engine of economic growth as well as an effective tool for combating rural poverty; this is the objective of the new strategy Green Morocco Plan which has created a new dynamic in the agricultural sector and which is already beginning to bear fruit. Agriculture is indeed at the center of concern for sustainable development and food security. In addition to its contribution to the economy of nearly 14% of the GDP, its real socio-economic impact is much higher, in particular, thanks to its effects of upstream and downstream training and through the final consumption of households. This report presents, through the statistics of agricultural production, and the evolution of the main indicators of the agricultural sector: the macroeconomic position of agriculture and food in Morocco; the economic transformation of agriculture and manufacturing resources; Costs in agriculture and patterns of labor productivity, intensity and profitability of production; macroeconomic policy and agricultural policy.

The agriculture sector is key for economic and social development, but the sector’s potential has not received enough attention from policy makers and stakeholders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Political transitions, instability, and the resulting refugee crisis have shifted focus away from other pressing development challenges, including slow progress in economic diversification, high unemployment, and persistent high food insecurity and rural poverty. Despite its small contribution to GDP, agriculture is strategic for sustainable development in the MENA countries. Agriculture, for example, is central to achieve food and water security in a region characterized as one of the most food insecure and water scarce in the world. The sector’s role in employment is also central, given the region’s high structural unemployment. However, it will not be possible for MENA countries to develop agriculture without a pathway to structural economic transformation. The region has already started the process of transformation but longstanding challenges remain. This report aims to examine the drivers, constraints, and social implications of agricultural development in MENA and to explore possible cornerstones for new and sustainable development strategies in the context of economic transformation. More specifically, the report provides answers to the following questions: • What development strategies and policies did governments in MENA put in place over the past three decades and how did they affect the performance of agriculture? • How did the structural characteristics of the MENA countries affect agricultural development and the economic transformation process in the region? • What did we learn from the past performance of agriculture? What should be the central elements guiding future agricultural policies? • What are elements of a new and sustainable development strategy in MENA countries? • What is the role of agriculture and agro-industries for development in MENA?

This study aims to provide a better understanding of how cooperatives can contribute to the development of the agriculture sector and rural areas in Morocco and what policy changes and areas of investment could be considered to better enable this. It is dedicated to policy decision-makers, development partners and potential institutional investors in the agriculture sector in Morocco. The study seeks to provide answers to the following key research questions: (i) What are the distinctive features of cooperatives in Morocco? (ii) What role can cooperatives potentially play in the development of the agriculture sector and rural areas? (iii) How have current policies supported cooperatives in playing that role? and (iv) What are the opportunities to provide a more enabling environment for cooperative development? These questions are used as background to assess the policy and institutional environment in which cooperatives operate, to explain some of the current characteristics of cooperatives in Morocco, and finally to identify key opportunities and issues which should be addressed by policy decision-makers, development partners and investors, in order to benefit the agriculture sector as a whole.

In developing countries, further progress of irrigation is essential for increasing food security and farmers’ income. However, developing small-scale schemes remains a challenge due to multiple factors that must be taken into consideration, such as diversity of small-scale schemes, a large number of water users, social disharmony over the water use, varying water demands of multi-cropping systems, heterogeneity of equipment over the scheme. Furthermore, on-farm irrigation development has a major role in enhancing Agricultural Water Management (AWM). The previous development methods considered the improvement of single-factor productivity, but agriculture is undergoing a global shift from the single objective of outputs (such as yield or net income) to multiple objectives of increasing outputs while conserving natural resources. Many pathways towards enhancement of Water Productivity (WP) are directly related to improving overall farm agronomic management (irrigation, fertilization, plant density, plant protection, etc.), while external measures must be applied to ensure sustainability of introduced good practices (lack of input markets, scarce knowledge, poor infrastructures, water regulations, etc.). Thus introducing irrigation practices to farmers must undergo a step-wise process to ensure that costs do not outweigh achievable benefits, and both institutional and technical environment are capable to sustain results. This is the case in smallholders’ schemes, where farmers are poorly resourced. In order to address these issues, the current policy guide presents a combined methodology, which involves practical experiences drawn from FAO work in the three countries as well as researchers’ results to line up a set of feasible measures to improving WP.

The following collection of notes was initially disseminated at the “Private Sector Forum on Food Security in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Region” jointly organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in May 2015. The notes aim to inform EBRD agribusiness investments in the SEMED and disseminate knowledge on current trends in agribusiness and food security. The EBRD called upon FAO’s technical assistance to carry out an analysis of key trends in the agribusiness sector of four specific countries: Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan. This process resulted in four country notes with analyses of food consumption patterns, production and trade, as well as agricultural policies. While the individual notes were mostly descriptive, it was felt that a document providing a comparative analysis across countries would add value to the target audience, namely public officials, development experts, the private sector and members of the civil society. This publication thus sought to reframe the analysis of sector trends in the region into a readily-accessible format in order to contribute to more effective and efficient policies for improved food security and nutrition. While the focus of the publication is on four SEMED countries – Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan - many of its key findings and conclusions will also be of interest in other regional and country situations, where FAO and the UfM are active.

Morocco, a North African country with a population of about 23 million, has had a dualistic agriculture sector during most of the 20th century. One subsector is comprised of many small subsistence farms that grow chiefly wheat and barley; the other subsector is made up of large irrigated holdings that produce fruits and vegetables for export. Like many of the other developing countries examined in this comparative studies project, Morocco concentrated on building its industrial capabilities in the years following independence in 1956. That meant that consumers generally benefitted from government intervention in agricultural prices and that farm producers in general suffered the penalty of lower prices for their products. The subsistence subsector, however, was penalized more heavily by intervention than the export subsector. By 1973, at the time of the first oil shock, Morocco's coastal cities and new industries were continuing to grow, and there was an ongoing shift of population from rural areas to the cities. A steep rate of inflation, accompanied by political turmoil, then made it more necessary than ever for the government to intervene to keep consumer prices as low as possible. Morocco was able to subsidize consumer prices relatively painlessly at that time because of rising revenues from its exports of phosphates. (The country has about three-fourths of the world's phosphate reserves.) The year 1973 also marked the appearance of a more positive attitude toward agricultural producers. While the farm sector's output prices continued to be penalized by an overvalued exchange rate, some effort was made to counterbalance the exchange rate's ill effects through direct intervention. High world prices for most commodities, including farm products, had made food self-sufficiency a more appealing goal. In the early 1980s, as the world suffered recession, Morocco's export revenues declined. Subsidization of consumer food prices then became more difficult for the government. Although an initial attempt in 1981 to limit consumer subsidies by raising food prices resulted in serious riots, the country's food prices were gradually brought into line with market realities. Morocco's farms saw their prices improve further during the first half of the 1980s, and by 1984 the overall farm price penalty caused by the overvalued exchange rate had fallen to 8 percent, the lowest figure for the entire 1960-84 period. This study also reports on the effects of government intervention in agricultural prices on such important variables as farm production, food consumption, and exchange rate earnings.
