Prices spur state markets
Rising vegetable prices—particularly tomatoes, which have approached 20 dirhams per kilogram in some markets—have brought Fawzi Lekjaa’s proposals to reform produce marketing back into focus, though no implementation date has been announced. The proposals include regulating exports to balance domestic market needs with external commitments, modernizing 12 wholesale markets, giving traders the freedom to choose their suppliers, and reviewing fees, including a rate of 7%. Lekjaa also called for a greater regulatory role for the state, citing the example of public shops that sell basic goods at set prices. Meanwhile, tomato exports to African markets have been temporarily suspended, with European destinations exempted.
