EU Glyphosate Ban Threatens Moroccan Agricultural Exports
The imminent ban on glyphosate-based products by certain European countries could slow the momentum of Moroccan exports, which have risen to nearly 60 billion DH over the past ten years. Luxembourg has just set the tone and will certainly be followed by other countries.
The risk that the European Union, which absorbs two-thirds of agricultural exports, will quickly shift towards a total ban on the use of glyphosate as a pesticide, is high.
According to observers, other countries could follow Luxembourg, starting with France, which announced a few weeks earlier the withdrawal of 36 glyphosate-based pesticide products.
If other European countries were to follow Luxembourg, Moroccan products, still treated with Glyphosate, will be banned from being marketed in many European markets. Morocco will thus lose a large outlet market, unless it adapts to the new legislation.
