Ways of fostering further cooperation ties between Morocco and the Islamic Organization for Food Security (IOFS) were at the center of talks held Wednesday in Rabat between Moroccan foreign minister Nasser Bourita and IOFS Chief Berik Aryn.
Talks also focused on Morocco’s participation in IOFS’ training and technical assistance programs, joint research projects and Morocco’s strong commitment to support Islamic countries in food security.
Mr. Berik Aryn praised Morocco’s leadership in sustainable agriculture, saying the Kingdom stands as a model in inclusive and innovative agricultural development.
Morocco joined IOFS in 2021 and plays a key role within this organization thanks to its successful farming experience which has enabled the country to ensure its food sovereignty by strengthening its agricultural competitiveness, promoting sustainable practices, and contributing to regional & global food security, particularly in Africa.
Morocco’s agricultural sector accounts for 25% of the country’s GDP and 40% of its workforce. The country is a leading exporter of phosphate fertilizers, vegetables, citrus fruits, olive oil, and fish.
