Morocco: Pasta Product Ingredient Requirements

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report contains an unofficial translation of Morocco's requirements for pasta products. Pasta products sold under any denomination or form must be made exclusively from pure durum wheat semolina unless otherwise authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture. In 2018, the U.S.-Morocco FTA provides first-come, first-serve market access for 1,903 MT of U.S. durum products (e.g., semolina, pasta, etc.), which increases two percent annually. Morocco imports 10,000 MT annually of durum products from the EU, Turkey, Tunisia, China, and the UAE, but has yet to import any such products from the United States since the FTA's implementation in 2006.
