Potato Crisis Highlights Farmer Fragility
During the 2025/2026 season, the potato market in Morocco experienced an unprecedented increase in imports, with quantities exceeding 12,000 tons. This level surpassed the total imports of the past five years by approximately 50%. This surge was a result of damages caused by floods that affected the northern regions, particularly the Loukkos basin, during January and February 2026, leading to the inundation of lands and significant crop losses. The demand for imports began to rise in March and peaked in April and May, with European countries accounting for more than 80% of the total imports. The main importing countries were the Netherlands and France, in order to compensate for the decline in domestic production and to secure supplies for the market, amid ongoing climate fluctuations that have impacted the sector in recent years.
