Al24: Emirati water resource concerns in Morocco
Moroccan reports have revealed that the Moroccan authorities have permitted an Emirati company to cultivate avocados in the Sidi Yahiya region on approximately 400 hectares, as part of a project also including blueberries and mandarins. This poses a threat to the country's water security. This is despite Morocco suffering from water shortages and frequent water cuts during the summer, as avocado cultivation depletes water resources and is considered one of the most dangerous activities for water reserves and the agricultural sector, especially with the increasing severity of drought conditions. Human rights and scientific experts have warned that this type of agriculture threatens water and food security and leads to soil degradation, thereby exposing the country to social and economic threats amid the escalating water crisis.
