Morocco is poised for a significant agricultural recovery after years of drought, supported by exceptional rainfall during the winter season.
Water reserves have improved sharply, with dam levels rising from 33% to over 75%, easing pressure on farming activities. According to announcements made during the International Agriculture Show in Meknes, cereal production is expected to reach 90 million quintals in the 2025–2026 season — nearly triple the previous year’s output.
Agriculture remains a key pillar of Morocco’s economy, contributing around 13% of GDP. Several agricultural sectors are set to benefit from improved conditions. Olive oil production is projected to increase significantly, while fruit crops such as peaches, nectarines, and plums are expected to deliver strong yields.
Meanwhile, Morocco continues to expand its regulated cannabis sector, issuing more than 4,000 licenses for medical and industrial use in 2025. Improved rainfall has also boosted pasture availability, supporting livestock recovery after recent constraints.
The current rebound reflects broader resilience within Morocco’s agricultural system and its importance to economic stability and food security in the region.
