Morocco’s Date Crop on the Rise | Morocco News

Morocco’s date industry is on the rebound, with producers in Zagora forecasting a 10-15% jump in output for 2026-2027 after years of drought. Key varieties like Medjool are showing strong early signs, thanks to a decline in pests and diseases. Growers in Figuig are also optimistic, expecting harvests in September, though labor shortages could drive up costs. Last season’s 160,000 metric tons marked a 55% surge, with the Drâa-Tafilalet region leading the charge at 76% of national output. The market’s recovery is well underway.
