Moroccan Cuisine and Weight Issues
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report highlights a serious nutritional paradox in Morocco. While the number of people suffering from malnutrition has increased from 1.5 million during 2004-2006 to 2.5 million in 2023-2025, the rate of malnutrition has risen from 4.8% to 6.5%. Conversely, the number of adults with overweight has grown from 3.7 million in 2012 to 5.7 million in 2024, with the percentage rising from 16.8% to 21.6%. These data indicate that Morocco's nutritional situation is not solely about the quantity of food, but also its quality and the need to access a balanced diet. The indicators have evolved over different periods without directly comparing different demographic groups.
