Morocco: Ministry predicts better fruit crops after heavy rain
“There is no doubt that the crop this year will be good. It could even be a record, especially thanks to the rainfall that continually honors us,” said agrimaroc.ma.
The figures indicate that rain will increase by 185% with a cumulative 258 mm and could therefore lead to a significant overrun of the initial projections set by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Rainfall is expected to benefit sectors including field gardening, industrial crops and fruit growing. For the time being, fruit growth is considered to be good in all regions of production. Beginning with citrus fruit growing, which is expected to achieve a record production of 2.36 million tonnes this year, announced the Ministry of Agriculture.
