Spain's Sahara Dilemma Unveiled
Spanish investigations reveal that the Spanish market benefits from seafood products originating from the Sahara, despite the political dispute with Morocco over the region. Since 2020, Spain has imported fishmeal from Morocco valued at over $128 million. Its sector relies heavily on fishing resources in the area, with Spanish ships holding 92 licenses out of 138 under the 2019 fishing agreement, which covers the Atlantic coast of the Sahara. Additionally, products from the region, such as fishmeal, are used to feed fish farms in Greece and Spanish retail chains. Although Madrid officially supported the Moroccan autonomy proposal in 2022, economic interests remain strong, with Morocco organizing an investment forum in Madrid in 2024. There is optimism about the prospects for strengthening economic cooperation despite ongoing legal and political disagreements.
