The second Plan Maroc Vert<br />
launched by Rabat two years<br />
ago did not fulfil the expectations<br />
and the European investors<br />
did not work in the business<br />
of the Government of<br />
Morocco.<br />
Rabat admits in the base<br />
document that “agriculture is<br />
an axis of basic growth for the<br />
economy of the country, the<br />
commercial balance and the<br />
creation of employment”, but<br />
the objectives of the second<br />
Plan are not in the right way.<br />
This project tries to reach a<br />
growth of 40 per cent of the<br />
surface in olive trees, a 52 per<br />
cent of citruses and 76 per cent<br />
of fruits and vegetables until<br />
the year 2020.<br />
Now there is a hope for the<br />
Plan of Mohamed VI SAW<br />
from the petrodollars. And it<br />
is that a group of 28 Arab companies<br />
will invest 500 million<br />
dollars in the development of<br />
North Africa and also Morocco.<br />
The minister of Commerce<br />
of Egypt, Rachid Mohamed Rachid<br />
affirmed that the investment<br />
comes from companies<br />
of Saudi Arabia, EAU, Kuwait,<br />
Qatar, Bahrein, Syria and<br />
Egypt.<br />
Morocco is developing the<br />
exports of fresh fruits and vegetables<br />
in the destinations of<br />
the Persian Gulf with 61,728<br />
tons during the campaign<br />
2009-2010 and with an increasing<br />
tendency.<br />
Less interest<br />
Morocco is interesting no<br />
more for the European fruits<br />
and vegetables companies, since<br />
“the margin of profit has<br />
The petrodollars, will rescue<br />
the Plan Maroc Vert?<br />
28 Arab companies of the business of petroleum will invest 500 million dollars<br />
in the development of agriculture in North Africa. This way, the Plan Maroc<br />
Vert, designed by Rabat, will be able to work and to reach more than 600,000<br />
hectares for producing fruits and vegetables until the year 2020.<br />
decreased considerably and<br />
the costs begin to increase”,<br />
from the European companies<br />
set in Morocco explained.<br />
There are clear data that<br />
show the stop of the agricultu-<br />
re of Morocco in the last years.<br />
The sale of tractors decreased<br />
37 per cent in 2010.<br />
