The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated Morocco as one of the priority countries in the 'Foods for Progress' program for the fiscal year 2026. This selection underscores the close relationship between the Trump administration and the Moroccan regime, particularly in a climate where countries like Spain have raised concerns over the unfair competition that Morocco poses to community fruit and vegetable producers.
Morocco is among a select group of seven nations chosen for this initiative, alongside Bangladesh, Bolivia, Ecuador, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, as reported by the newspaper L’Economiste and echoed by La Razón. This inclusion highlights the strategic importance of the North African country in the realm of international agriculture.
This decision reflects the confidence that the United States places in the transformative potential of Morocco's agricultural sector and its critical role in modernizing the North African nation. The 'Foods for Progress' program aims to support developing countries by enhancing their agricultural and trade systems. In this context, Morocco's participation opens up new avenues for investment, innovation, and strengthening the primary sector.
