The support of the new agricultural strategy “Generation Green 2020-2030” was the focus of virtual discussions, held Tuesday between minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests, Aziz Akhannouch, and president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Odile Renaud-Basso.
During this meeting, the two parties discussed the possibilities of support from the EBRD to the strategy “Generation Green 2020-2030”, including projects of resilient and eco-efficient agriculture, projects that can be the subject of a public-private partnership (PPP), as well as those relating to the valuation, especially of marketing channels (wholesale markets and slaughterhouses), said the ministry in a statement after the meeting, which took place as part of the first visit to Morocco of Renaud-Basso.
The two officials, who welcomed the quality of relations between Morocco and the EBRD and raised the importance of agriculture within the framework of this cooperation, also discussed projects carried out under the Green Morocco Plan (PMV) to which the Bank has provided support, including the hydro-agricultural development project for the safeguarding of the Saïss plain that obtained a loan from the EBRD, as well as grants from the Green Climate Fund and the European Union, the same source said.
The meeting was also an opportunity to highlight means of cooperation with Morocco Foodex (the autonomous institution of control and coordination of exports), particularly in terms of diversification of markets, the statement concluded.
