Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Ahmed Bouari provided an overview of the 2024-2025 agricultural season during today’s Government Council.
Bouari noted that this year’s rainfall has been below the 30-year national average. To support farmers, the ministry has implemented measures such as providing and subsidizing 1.3 million quintals of selected cereal seeds and 200,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizers.
The government has also introduced a comprehensive support program for the livestock sector, focusing on subsidized animal feed, technical assistance for improved productivity, animal health programs, and financial aid for maintaining female livestock to rebuild herds.
Additionally, the Cabinet reviewed and approved Decree No. 2.25.61, which establishes protective perimeters around public water supply facilities. The measure, presented by Minister of Equipment and Water Nizar Baraka, aligns with Article 50 of Water Law No. 36.15, ensuring the preservation of water resources from contamination.
A separate decree, No. 2.25.62, was also approved, detailing conditions and procedures for designating conservation and restriction zones within these water perimeters. This legislation aims to regulate activities within these zones to safeguard Morocco’s water resources.
The government remains committed to addressing public health challenges, supporting the agricultural sector, and ensuring sustainable water management as part of its broader development strategy.
