Morocco: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Morocco is facing historically low wheat production due to low rainfall in 2019/20. The Ministry of Agriculture forecasts total wheat and barley production at 3 million metric tons, about 60 percent below Morocco’s ten-year production average. In response to low production, the Moroccan government has taken the unprecedented decision to extend its suspension of customs duties on common wheat through December 31, 2020.
