After five years of drought, water stress and global turbulence, Morocco is evaluating its Generation Green 2020-2030 plan at the halfway point. This assessment aims to readjust the roadmap to accelerate the transformation of the sector, strengthen its resilience and consolidate the Kingdom’s food sovereignty.
To address five consecutive years of drought, water stress, and rising production costs, the Moroccan government has launched a mid-term evaluation of the Generation Green 2020-2030 plan, a strategy designed to modernize agriculture, strengthen farm resilience, and improve farmers’ incomes. This strategic study, commissioned to the Boston Consulting Group for 11.8 million dirhams, will be used to readjust priorities to ensure the achievement of the objectives set for 2030.
« Our objective is to assess achievements, identify new constraints, and readjust priorities to better meet the expectations of farmers and the needs of citizens, particularly regarding water management, agricultural modernization, and support for the sector. »
AHMED EL BOUARI, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development – Morocco
Despite the challenges, the government highlights several advances. Agricultural growth is expected to be between 15% and 16% in 2026. The sector now boasts 930,000 hectares equipped with drip irrigation, 20 program contracts representing 108 billion dirhams in investments, and 6,000 agricultural cooperatives established to support rural development.
« This mid-term study of the Generation Green 2020-2030 strategy is a key step in measuring achievements, addressing challenges, and preparing a new dynamic for the next phase of the program. »
HABIB BEN TALEB, President of the Federation of Chambers of Agriculture – Morocco
Beyond the assessment, this study must prepare the next stage of Generation Green. The work will focus on developing agricultural production, securing water resources, modernizing marketing channels, mechanizing farms, and strengthening financing and investment. The goal is to build a more resilient, competitive and sustainable Moroccan agriculture.
