Morocco’s Cosumar Group has launched the 2025-26 sugar crop planting season following a 74 percent rise in sugar beet output last year despite ongoing drought conditions, the company said in a statement received by Hespress.
National beet production reached 2.05 million tonnes over 34,150 hectares, while sugar cane output stood at 278,141 tonnes, enabling Cosumar’s plants to produce 281,000 tonnes of white sugar, up 50 percent year on year.
Cosumar attributed these results to strong coordination among farmers, regional technical committees, local authorities, and agricultural advisers who supported growers through irrigation and fertilization innovations such as drone monitoring, the “Tayssir” digital platform, and smart blending technologies.
For the new season, regional committees plan to cultivate 60,000 hectares of beet and 8,000 hectares of cane, with Cosumar providing 500 million dirhams in pre-financing for inputs and deploying 120 field advisers to support farmers across Morocco’s main sugar-growing regions.
