Agropolis

As part of the Green Morocco Plan, Agropolis represents the benchmark regional industrial zone welcoming all industries linked to the agricultural value chain: upstream support, agro-food processing, logistics & distribution as well as marketing.It should allow:

 

  • To enhance Fez-Meknès region main sectors: milk, cereals, and meat sectors (mainly intended for the local market) and olives, fruits, and vegetables sectors (mainly intended for export).
  • To attract support industries allowing the improvement of upstream agriculture productivity (e.g., irrigation equipment, packaging,agro-supply …).
