In partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, and Water and Forests, Al Moutmir initiative aims to enable farmers to increase their productivity and the quality of production through good technical management of crops, as well as the adoption of scientific approaches based on balanced crop nutrition.

It has now adopted a cutting-edge, farmer-focused approach to agricultural development.

Al Moutmir’s team assists farmers in better understanding the requirements of their soils through its array of services, with a customizable offer, as a first step toward logical fertilization and balanced nutrition for soils and crops.

To give the soil the right nutrients, the Cherifien Office of Phosphates (OCP) helps to produce fertilizers that are specially formulated and customized. 

As a result, it gives its fertilizer manufacturing partners what they need to produce appropriate fertilizers locally using special formulations.

Because the farmer is essential to the success of agricultural transformation, the Al Moutmir initiative prioritizes investing in people. 

In this way, a multi-target support system is built up, enabling actors to quickly embrace the finest agricultural techniques and position themselves in favor of inclusive and impactful agriculture.

The target demographic for this assistance system includes farmers, rural women, cooperatives, and young leaders.

It consists of a digital offer, a capacity-building program, a direct seeding program, a direct marketing system, and a demonstration platform program.

Over five years, Al Moutmir designed and implemented a multi-service offer based on the scientific approach to ensure its sustainability and digitalize it to multiply its impact and serve a maximum of farmers across the Kingdom.

Al Moutmir includes tailor-made products and solutions, services for the dissemination and transfer of agronomic knowledge as close as possible to farmers (soil analyses, training, demonstration platforms, monitoring and support, direct seeding, etc.), technological solutions as well as capacity building program for farmers, rural women, cooperatives and young leaders. 

The initiative’s ambition is to equip farmers with the necessary tools to move from a subsistence activity to a profitable and sustainable business. 

Al Moutmir started receiving support from the UM6P in September 2022 in an effort to solidify the scientifical framework that forms the foundation of the program.

In order to contribute to the building of equitable and sustainable agricultural development models in Africa and around the world, the latter will be able to ensure the connection between applied research and the agricultural environment.

As part of its continued commitment to Moroccan farmers, the initiative maintains its commitment to the agricultural ecosystem, as it hopes to support its transformation in Morocco, Africa, and around the world.
