Morocco's Agricultural Fair Extended for Greater Engagement
In an exciting development for the agricultural sector, the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests has announced an extension of this year's International Agricultural Fair in Meknes from seven to nine days. This decision comes as a response to the overwhelming success of previous editions, indicating a heightened interest and participation from both professionals and the general public.
The fair will now run from Monday, April 20 to Tuesday, April 28, 2026, under the patronage of King Mohammed VI. This year’s theme is "Sustainability in Animal Production and Food Sovereignty," with Portugal honored as the guest of honor for this edition. The ministry emphasized that the fair serves as a significant platform for stakeholders, including decision-makers, economic actors, professionals, local stakeholders, and international partners, to come together and discuss key issues in the agricultural sector.
Notably, the fair aims to attract around 1,500 exhibitors and participants from 70 countries, along with the organization of over 40 seminars. The topics covered will focus on advancements in animal production chains, particularly relating to animal health, animal welfare, food safety, and the economic and technical performance of livestock production units. This reflects Morocco’s commitment to enhancing its agricultural practices and ensuring food security.
The International Agricultural Fair has firmly established itself as a pivotal event on both national and international agricultural agendas since its inception. The extension of the fair’s duration is expected to facilitate greater interaction and networking opportunities, further enriching the experience for all attendees.
