Morocco’s Wholesale Markets Generate $35 Million Annually, Employ Thousands

In a statement to the Map, the Vice-President of the Union, Abdelhafid El Ouardani, declared, during the meeting of the national council of the organization, that the wholesale markets constitute a marketing space for the products of thousands of farmers, while emphasizing the importance of these public infrastructures and the need to update their legal framework, which dates back to 1962.

This meeting was organized under the theme "Wholesale markets in Morocco: challenges and development prospects", and constitutes an essential step for the Union which would like to use the opportunity to raise awareness about the demands of the professionals working in the wholesale markets, and who are fighting to obtain the status of merchant, explains the Vice-President.
