Dutch company eyes import of Moroccan cannabis amid supply shortage
Tuesday 6 May 2025 - 12:11

As Dutch media reported the government’s interest in importing regulated Moroccan cannabis, Hespress has learned that a leading Dutch company has already begun talks with licensed Moroccan farmers.

A source heading two cannabis cooperatives in Al Hoceima confirmed that the CEO of SayHay, a Dutch firm, reached out last week to discuss sourcing Moroccan cannabis to address the severe THC shortage in the Netherlands.

The Dutch investor emphasized that multiple companies are eager to import Moroccan cannabis, and local stakeholders are urging both the Dutch and Moroccan governments to facilitate the process.

According to the source, Moroccan cannabis fetches high prices in Dutch coffee shops, with processed THC selling for up to MAD 350,000 per kilogram.

Interest from foreign investors continues to grow during Morocco’s third season of regulated cannabis cultivation. The Dutch government’s legal trial in 10 municipalities faces challenges in supply, particularly in producing hashish matching Morocco’s renowned quality.
