Fisheries Sector Celebrates Five Years of Growth
In recent years, the Moroccan fishing sector has experienced significant development, transitioning from solely relying on exploiting marine resources to becoming an integrated economic system that emphasizes adding value through processing and manufacturing. This shift has led to an increase in the sector's added value, reaching 16.2 billion dirhams in 2025, representing a 15% growth compared to 2022. Despite climatic challenges, production remained stable at 1.31 million tons. Additionally, exports recorded remarkable activity, exceeding production value with over 26.6 billion dirhams. The aquaculture industry also expanded, launching 244 projects with an annual production capacity of nearly 90,000 tons. Investment volumes increased to approximately 5 billion dirhams, strengthening infrastructure and creating 271,000 direct jobs in the sector. This development demonstrates the sector’s resilience, thanks to its diversification across fishing, processing, and aquaculture activities, which enhances Morocco’s position as an important source of marine wealth and employment opportunities. It underscores the sector’s cohesive system, significantly contributing to the national economy and sustainable development.
