Morocco's Agricultural Economy in Brief

Abstract

In 1956, the former French and Spanish protectorates, as well as the Free Zone of Tangier, were united to form the Kingdom of Morocco. Its capital is Rabat and its leading seaport is Casablanca. Morocco produces about one-fifth of the world's phosphates and is one of the world's leading citrus exporters. In 1965, agricultural products accounted for roughly 42 percent of its total exports by value. France is Morocco's leading trading partner, but Moroccan trade has recently tended to shift away from France toward other world markets. The United States normally supplies substantial amounts of grains and vegetable oils under the U.S. Food for Peace Program.
