Morocco's Rainfall Surges: Implications for the Agricultural Sector
During the period from September 1, 2025, to March 11, 2026, Morocco recorded approximately 462 millimeters (mm) of rainfall, marking a remarkable increase of 56% compared to the average over the past thirty years and a staggering 134% rise in comparison to the previous year. This significant data was revealed by Ahmed El Bouari, the Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, and Water and Forests, during a government council meeting held in Rabat.
In his presentation addressing the impact of precipitation on the 2025/2026 agricultural campaign, El Bouari emphasized that these rains benefited most agricultural areas, with substantial amounts recorded particularly in the northern regions, Saïss, Gharb, Chaouia, and Doukkala. The minister conveyed optimism regarding the agricultural outlook, asserting that current indicators suggest a robust agricultural campaign ahead. This positive trend indicates a potential return of the agricultural sector to the value-added levels seen at the conclusion of the Green Morocco Plan, as highlighted by Mustapha Baitas, the Minister Delegated for Relations with Parliament and government spokesperson, during a press briefing following the council meeting.
